Sending Parcels to Rome: Prices, Delivery Times and Couriers

Rome is the Italian city with the most complex urban logistics. The historic centre — one of the largest in Europe — is almost entirely within a Restricted Traffic Zone (ZTL), which means that couriers cannot access it with their vans during certain times of the day. Being aware of these rules before sending parcels to Rome helps to avoid delivery delays.
