The venue is in the Piazza di Cestello area, in the Oltrarno district, where car access is restricted (ZTL/limited traffic zone). It’s recommended to park in nearby garages or public car parks and continue on foot. Recommended options:
- Viale Ludovico Ariosto car park (a few minutes’ walk from the venue);
- Santa Trinita Garage (near the centre, convenient from the Ponte Santa Trinita side);
- Lungarno Garage (great position along the Arno, easily accessible);
- Piazza Vittorio Veneto car park (larger public parking, slightly further but useful during high attendance);
- Piazza di Cestello car park (the closest option, but with limited availability).
In general, there is paid parking in the area, though not always directly adjacent to the venue, so arriving early is advised.
