Nearby, you’ll also find Piazza della Signoria, the Bargello, Santa Croce, the Duomo, and the world-renowned Uffizi Gallery, richly endowed with some of the world’s best works of art. Florence is an open-air museum and Pitti Historical Home is right in the centre of it!

Florence’s historical centre is a Restricted Traffic Zone. We recommend clients coming to Florence to not rent a car or if you do have a car, to leave it parked in a private garage during your stay (we can provide more information on this if required). Florence city centre is quite small and the majority of the streets are either complicated one way systems or for pedestrians only, and therefore the best way of exploring the city is by foot!
