Estimate based on the byelaws and DGT criteria checked on 15 October 2026. The byelaw in force and, for the label, the DGT number-plate lookup have the final word. How we calculate
Zaragoza’s low-emission zone covers the historic centre bounded by San Vicente de Paúl, Coso, Mayoral and Echegaray y Caballero streets. The byelaw was finally approved on 19 July 2024 and, after several information phases, the fourth and last began on 12 December 2025: since then a vehicle without a DGT environmental label that is not in the council register can be fined. The restriction applies Monday to Friday from 8.00 to 20.00; outside those hours, at weekends and on public holidays, access is free. Vehicles with a B, C, ECO or zero label need no registration but must display the sticker on the windscreen: not doing so is a minor offence, separate from the serious €200 one for entering without permission. Drivers who enter by mistake and leave within 15 minutes are not fined, and any unlabelled car can request up to 8 accesses a month.

A zone at the heart of the old town
Zaragoza’s boundary is compact and matches streets that already had residents-only traffic, speed bumps and controlled access. The zone adds one more condition: the label. Perimeter streets form the edge, and the parking spaces inside, for residents, visitors, deliveries, bikes and motorbikes, can only be used by vehicles that comply.
The register is the key
Nearly every exception goes through registering: reduced mobility, garage spaces, business premises, residents, essential services, patient transport, hotels and public car parks with connected entry control. For anyone who fits none of these, the 8 monthly accesses cover a hospital visit or a house move without changing car.
The sticker does count here
Zaragoza is one of the few cities where displaying the label is compulsory. It costs about 5 euros at post offices, garages or agencies; if you are unsure which one you are entitled to, the sticker guide explains how to get it and where to put it.
