Accessible parking in Florence
If you're a EU Parking Card holder navigating Florence, you've probably hit the same problem we have: a parking space marked “accessible” doesn't always live up to the name. Bay widths vary, kerb cuts are missing, and the closest space to the door isn't always the one you'd choose if you knew the details up front.
Close to the Door brings together community-verified parking data from across Italy and the rest of Europe, so you can choose a space in Florence based on what actually matters — bay width, access aisles, surface type, lighting, kerb cuts and more — before you set off.
Your Contrassegno Unificato Disabili Europeo (CUDE) and the EU Parking Card are accepted at dedicated accessible bays across Florence. Close to the Door's data on bay widths, kerb cuts, surface types and lighting helps you find a space that genuinely works for you. Coverage extends across Italy and the rest of the EU.
Parking in Florence: what to expect
Florence's central historic area (within the medieval walls) is one of Europe's strictest ZTL zones — vehicle entry is heavily restricted. Holders of the CUDE can apply for permits to enter and park in residents' bays. The historic centre is largely pedestrianised; cobbled streets are widespread.
