Car in Florence?

Many people visit Florence as part of a broader tour which includes Tuscany. This is the reason why it is quite common to reach the city by car.

Get rid of your car immediatly if you have a rental one!

Florence is a pedestrian city and it is absolutely not allowed to enter the city center by car without incurring in big fines. The ZTL area (limited traffic area) is accessible for taxi cabs, electric vehicles and moppets only.

Our suggestion is to put Florence at the end or at the beginning of your trip. If you are touring Tuscany you can begin with Florence reaching the city easily by train and, at the end of your stay, you can rent a car there. The second option is to put Florence at the end of your itinerary and drop the car off as soon as you reach the city.

Both the public parking and the private ones are quite expensive: don't consider to pay less than 25-40 Euros per day. Moreover there are no free parking lots in the city, not even in the street. If you have your own car you can think about spending this amount daily, so planning your budget think about it.

You can reach the city by train: the eurostar train links Rome to Florence in 1h and 45 minutes covering a distance of 275 kilometers. If you do so, you will enjoy Florecnce with no waste of time. You will be free as a bird!!

Have a nice free stay!
