True, but a better map is of course

If you didn't have a sticker and wanted to be 100% legal then you could
park just outside the zone and walk five minutes to the conference location.
Having said that, there's quite a number of cars on the roads here
without a green sticker and nobody seems to give a damn. Might be
different for foreign cars though.

Provided the car meets the environmental standards, which is generally a
non-issue for petrol cars but if you have a diesel that's older than
about 10 years or so, you might not be so lucky. My car required an EUR
2000 investment before I could sign up for a green sticker ;)
