Botanical Garden of Florence
How to get to the Botanical Garden
On foot: about 5 minutes from Piazza San Marco | about 25 minutes from Santa Maria Novella Station
By bicycle: about 2 minutes from Piazza della Libertà | about 8 minutes from Santa Maria Novella Station. Bike racks are available at the beginning and end of Via Micheli
By tramway: line T2 stop ‘La Marmora-Orto botanico’ direction ‘Peretola-Aeroporto’, or line T2 stop ‘Cavour’ direction ‘San Marco Università’ | about 5 minutes' walk from both stops
By bus: checking the Autolinee Toscane website is recommended; the nearest stop is in Piazza San Marco
By car: the Garden is located within the Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL), so the car must either have a ZTL permit or be parked outside the ZTL. The nearest paid parking lots outside the ZTL are in Piazza Savonarola, Piazza Libertà and along Viale Spartaco Lavagnini and Viale Giacomo Matteotti. To access the ZTL, visitors with disabilities who are not residents of the City of Florence must follow the procedure indicated on the Servizi alla Strada SpA website (in Italian). Cars with a ZTL permit and a disabled parking sticker can park for free in all spaces (marked spaces for people with disabilities, white lines for residents, and paying blue lines)
By plane: from Peretola airport, tramway T2 direction ‘San Marco University’ (end of the line) and about 5 minutes on foot.
