Travel Note
If you are staying in Florence, renting a car is not recommended. Florence’s historic city center is a ZTL (Zona a Traffico Limitato), which means most cars are not allowed to drive through it. Access is restricted to residents, taxis, buses, and authorized vehicles, and parking is very limited. • Trains: Italy’s train system is amazing! Trenitalia and Italo are the two big ones. • Taxis/Rideshares: Uber isn’t widely used in Tuscany. Local taxis are the way to go if you’re not driving.
