The best place to park in Florence is at the Michelangelo Square, then walk along the Arno River into the city for over 1 kilometer. Most of the main attractions can be reached on foot.

Best to park outside the ZTL, it's not far to walk in, otherwise you'll just have to turn around and wait for the fine.

Can anyone who has returned the car in Florence city tell me? The address is Via Borgo Ognissanti 137/R Florence, IT 50123. I'm worried about entering ZTL, but the return point is actually within the ZTL. I asked the car rental company but they didn't reply. Even if I set Google Maps to avoid tolls, it's still not working and I will definitely enter the restricted area. It's really worrying ? Italy Q&A

Where is convenient to park in Florence? Florence is a city in Italy known for its rich history, art, and architecture. There are several options for parking in Florence, including public garages, private garages, and street parking. However, parking in the city center can be challenging, especially during peak tourist season. One option for parking in the city center is to use a public garage. There are several public garages located throughout the city, and many of them offer 24-hour service. Some popular public garages in Florence include the Piazza della Signoria Garage, the Piazza Santa Croce Garage, and the Piazza del Duomo Garage. Another option for parking in Florence is to use a private garage. Private garages are usually more expensive than public garages, but they may offer more convenience and security. Some private garages in Florence include the Garage dell'Opera, the Garage delle Cascine, and the Garage di Santa Maria Novella. Street parking is also an option in Florence, but it can be difficult to find a spot, especially in the city center. Street parking is usually limited to certain times of day or certain areas of the city, so it's important to check the signs and pay attention to any restrictions. In summary, there are several options for parking in Florence, including public garages, private garages, and street parking. While parking in the city center can be challenging, there are several convenient and secure options available ? Italy Q&A

Milan's ZTL is not scary. You can spend 5 euros to buy a ticket tied to the license plate number. Florence is the one that gives me a headache. I clearly checked the route to Piazza Michelangelo and it was not within the ZTL range, but as I drove, I found those white circles everywhere. I didn't know how to proceed. In the end, I still drove into it. But I didn't see any cameras, and I don't know if I actually entered illegally ? Italy Q&A

For buses that don't stop or announce the stations, how do you ensure you don't get off at the wrong stop? It seems that in Italy, buses don't announce the stations and only stop when someone needs to get on or off, and you have to press a red button to signal that you want to get off... The method of counting the stations and listening for announcements doesn't work, so do you rely on the driver to call out the stops? But what if you don't speak Italian and the bus is crowded? Looking out for landmarks? You need to have landmarks to look at, and it's hard to see them when it's dark or when the bus is crowded... So the only thing I can think of is to look at the GPS location on the map... Do you have any clever tricks for this ? Italy Q&A
