Can parking in Rome and Florence be convenient? Or is it better to leave the car at the hotel and go out by car? Is it really difficult to avoid the ZTL issue ?

Park in garages outside the ztl in Florence, rent a car after visiting Rome, and both places are not suitable for Road trip. It's very convenient to walk.

The shuttle bus to the city center departs from the Florence Hilton Hotel every half hour. Free parking.

Okay, at least better than Paris. Florence is not a big city, actually you don't need to drive.

It's better not to drive by yourself, it's too hard to park. The hotel may not have a parking space.

You can't enter the old town of Florence before 7 p.m., but it's completely fine after 7 p.m. You can find a hotel in the new area to park, and I found a hotel for 10 euros a day. It takes 15 minutes to get to the old town by bus. Florence does not have any free parking.

There's a camping hotel in Florence, about 20 minutes' drive from Michelangelo. The camping hotel has free parking, but it's in the suburbs.

Do not drive into the city center of Italy! ZTL fines are very serious, and there are basically no free parking lots in Italian urban areas!

The Michelangelo Square is up on the hill, a distance away from the city center, and it's tiring to climb the hill. It's not worth visiting there.

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

I have an order to pick up the car in Florence in the morning and then go to Tuscany to play for a day. Because the car agency closes at 6 o'clock, I am worried that I will not be able to return the car on time, so I have arranged to return the car the next morning. But this will have an overnight problem. My landlord in Florence said that most car agencies in the city have cooperative parking lots. I can park the car there that night and go to the agency the next day to handle the procedures. Is that right? Are there any places to park overnight ? 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
