Florence's city center is a restricted traffic area, meaning cars without a permit cannot enter during most of the day. We recommend parking just outside the restricted zone, such as at Parcheggio Park Matteotti or other nearby parking garages. Street parking is also available, with metered spaces indicated by blue lines, reserved for visitors. These typically cost around €1 for 30 minutes, with rates increasing based on duration. Payment can be made via ticket machines, kiosks, or the city’s app.
