Parking options for the Accademia Gallery

The ZTL (Zona a Traffico Limitato) system restricts traffic in Florence's historic center to residents, authorized vehicles, and permit holders. These zones operate under 24/7 surveillance using cameras that automatically detect unauthorized vehicles entering the restricted areas.

The ZTL encompasses most of the historic center where the Accademia Gallery is located. Cameras monitor entry points continuously, capturing license plates of all vehicles crossing into restricted zones. Violators receive fines exceeding €30 per entry, and multiple camera captures can result in separate fines.

Visitors should identify ZTL boundaries before driving in Florence. The zones extend throughout the historic center, making it essential to use parcheggio Firenze options located outside these restricted areas. Street parking within ZTL zones follows a color-coded system: white lines indicate resident-only spaces, blue lines mark paid parking available to visitors, and yellow lines designate special permits.
