Generally, most cities require a green badge. On our website you can find detailed information about two most visited German cities, Berlin and Munich.

Berlin Green Zone

A year later, on 1st January 2009, only vehicles marked with a green or yellow badge could enter the city and from 1st January 2010 all vehicles must acquire a green badge prior to entering this environmental zone. The exception applies only to German vehicles which were allowed to enter with a yellow badge until 31st December 2014.
