I wonder if friends who have been to Florence have restrictions on non-local license plates from Monday to Friday ?

Florence is best avoided by car. The ZTL area is very large, with many one-way streets and heavy traffic, and you may easily end up in a ZTL if you are not careful. There are times when the Florence ZTL is not activated at weekends, and the exact times can be found on the internet.

Florence is small. If you go downtown, you will definitely encounter traffic jams. You can park at the free parking lot of the hospital on the hillside of Michelangelo Square. This place is not in the restricted area, but a bus starting/ending point, very convenient to go downtown, BUG level parking.

My pick-up point is also near the Milan Cathedral. After picking up the car, I will leave Milan directly and go to Cinque Terre. In this case, should I be able to avoid ZTL? ZTL generally restricts vehicles with non-local license plates from entering. If it is a local vehicle, does it not have any restrictions ? Italy Q&A

Thank you for your response. I just inquired about the mobile phone card sold on Taobao not supporting text messaging. According to the prompt, if entering a restricted area while driving, you need to purchase a pass from a local convenience store and send it to the traffic management department. I wonder how other travelers who have been there handled this situation ? Italy Q&A

Excuse me, I have arrived in Switzerland today and I carelessly forgot to bring my original driver's license. Is there anyone still in China (preferably Beijing) who can bring it to me? I will be in Milan from 925 to 927, or in Florence. I'm afraid international express delivery may not be reliable in terms of time. My driver's license is in Beijing, so it would be best if I have a friend from Beijing. Thank you very much! I will give a 200 red envelope as a reward if successful! ? Italy Q&A

I plan to book tickets for the Colosseum online. There's a ticket for the Colosseum and Roman Forum with a headset that costs 19.5 euros. But the tickets are only available in the afternoon on the day I go. I would like to ask my fellow travelers who have been there if I book a ticket for the afternoon, can I visit the Roman Forum in the morning and then go to the Colosseum at the appointed time in the afternoon? Is this appointment ticket the one that doesn't require me to queue up for a long time ? Italy Q&A

May I ask you a question? We took the expressway from Naples to Rome, which should be A1. We got on from the northern entrance of Naples, and the lane we took did not have a Telepass sign, nor did it have a horizontal bar blocking it. But when we pressed the button to take the card, no card came out. There was a long line of cars behind us, so we had to get on the expressway and go to Rome. As a result, we got a ticket, which should be a fine. The normal expressway fee from Naples to Rome should have been paid at the exit manned by staff. We still have to pay more than 60 euros at another place ourselves, because we don't think we took the wrong lane. So I wrote an email to Telepass's website to appeal, but more than 10 days have passed and we still haven't received a response. The ticket says we must pay within 15 days, otherwise there will be a fine. May I ask if you have encountered a similar situation and what should we do next? Thank you ? 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
