by car

The city centre is a ZTL (Zona a traffico limitato - Limited Traffic Zone), controlled by cameras from 7.30 am to 7.30 pm, from Mondays to Fridays, and from 7.30 am to 6.00 pm on Saturday.Therefore, we do not recommend you use your private car, considering that in the city centre you can easily access everything on foot and that there are many electric mini-buses connecting the various zones.

Within the project of “Firenze città ciclabile” ("Florence as a cyclable city"), the Florence Municipality gives the citizens and the tourists the opportunity to rent a bike, an ideal way to move in the city.
