Gaeta Practical
ZTL, parking, duty pharmacy, buses and shuttles, weather and monument hours: everything you need to get around town, always up to date.
How it works
The town, today
This is the page to open when you are already in Gaeta with a practical question: is the ZTL active? where do I leave the car? which pharmacy is on duty tonight? when does the bus to Formia leave? The panels below are not texts written once: they update on their own — weather every hour, ZTL from the ordinance calendar, pharmacy every day.
Under each panel you will find the link to the full guide, for those who want to understand before setting off. And if your question is a different one, Enea is at the bottom: it answers in chat, even at night.
Weather and sea
Gaeta weather right now
Temperature, sea state, wind and sunset, read every hour from Open-Meteo satellite data, plus the next three days. For the full week and the sea forecast there is a dedicated page.
Old Gaeta ZTL
Is the ZTL active right now?
The old-town gate switches on and off with the seasonal hours: this panel works out the status from the ordinance calendar, but the display at the gate is what counts. Renewals, exemptions and how to avoid the fine are in the guide.
Parking
Where to leave the car
Blue-line spaces at €2 an hour with a day ticket, the free areas on the edge of the centre, the summer shuttle to the beaches. Every car park has its own page with spaces, rates and walking distance.
- Blue lines: €2 an hour, day ticket available
- Free: Via del Piano (old station) and the areas outside the centre
- For the Split Mountain: the sanctuary car park, then on foot
Getting around
Buses, shuttles and ferries
Cotral times to and from Formia station, weekdays and holidays, with the ticket price. In summer the free beach shuttle, and ferries to Ponza and Ventotene leave from Gaeta.
Health
Today's duty pharmacy
Night and holiday: the panel shows which pharmacy is on call now, with address, phone and until when. For emergencies the number is always 112.
Monuments and museums
Is it open today?
Split Mountain, Turk's Grotto, Castle, Golden Chapel, churches and museums: the opening hours of every place in Gaeta on one page, read from their own pages and with «open today». On Mondays, remember, half the town rests.

Waste collection: what to put out tonight
Gaeta's door-to-door collection calendar, day by day: which bin to put out and when. Useful also if you are renting a house and do not want to fall out with the neighbours.
Useful numbers
Who to call
Only numbers checked against an official source, with the date next to them. For everything else — out-of-hours doctor, local police, offices — the link goes to the municipality page, which keeps them up to date.
