Area C charge and nearby garages
Central Milan around La Scala falls inside the Area C congestion charge zone, and drivers must pay to enter, though nearby paid garages such as Autosilo Diaz on Piazza Diaz are only a few minutes walk from the theatre. The Area C charge only applies on weekdays during daytime hours, so evening arrivals for a performance are generally outside the charging period.
