Where to park in Florence
If you are planning your vacations in Florence and you don’t know if driving around the city we give you some tips on where to park in Florence.
Parking in paid parking areas
To park in Florence one of the largest parking areas is the parking of Santa Maria Novella under the central station of Florence, but we can also indicate: the parking at the Fortezza da Basso, Porta la Prato, Piazza Ghiberti (Sant’Ambrogio), Piazza Beccaria, Piazza della Libertà and Porta Romana. There are also smaller garages scattered around the center of Florence.
