The city center of Florence is a restricted traffic area, which means that cars without a permit can't access it through most of the day. This is clearly shown by signs at the entrances of the restricted areas. Our suggestions would be to park just outside the restricted area, either in parking garage like Parcheggio Park Matteotti or in a parking spot on the street.

If you want to park at street level, remember that in Florence, metered parking display zones are differentiated with colored markings. Typically, blue lines indicate spaces reserved for visitor parking, while white lines designate spaces for residents. The cost for parking in areas marked for visitors generally starts at around €1 for 30 minutes, with rates increasing incrementally based on the duration of your stay. Payment can be made via ticket machines, nearby kiosks, or the city’s official mobile app.
