HOW TO REACH THE FAIR.
TRAVEL & LEISURE AREA
BY CAR
Florence can be reached by several highways: A1 Milan-Naples highway, A11 Firenze-Mare, the SGC Florence-Pisa-Livorno. It should be noted that the major area of tourist interest in the city coincides with the ZTL, restricted traffic zone, controlled by electronic gates. If you have to reach an accommodation booked (hotel, etc.), Care must be taken to forewarn the structure, so that communicates vehicle data to the municipal police.
