Upon arriving at the car park you will be required to pay 3€ to car park staff, that will manage your access to the ZTL (Limited Traffic Zone).
The CAR rates only apply to small- and medium-sized vehicles. For vehicles like SUVs and minivans, you will have to reserve with the VAN rates.
Turning around indefinitely in circles is something that no one enjoys (especially when you're looking for a parking space), which is why we will get straight to the point: to park near Florence's Santa Maria Novella Station you can choose the Palazzuolo Garage!
This car park in Florence is located on the street of Via Palazzuolo, at only 150 metres from Santa Maria Novella station, which is the main train station of Florence. Furthermore, if you are a bit familiar with the city, you will already know that this is in the historical centre of Florence, with some of the most emblematic places nearby.
This way, from the car park in the city centre of Florence, you will be able to reach in just a few minutes, the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, the Basilica di San Lorenzo, the Piazza della Signoria, where you will find the Vecchio Palace. Or else, you can walk by the Arno river until you reach the Ponte Vecchio, leading to the Pitti Palace.
Coming back to the advantages gained by booking a place in the Garage Palazzuolo, we know for a fact that this is a covered and video monitored car park, perfect for leaving your car, motorbike or van. You will be able to park at the Santa Maria Novella train station for as long as you like, as the car park offers rates ranging from hours to several days :).
Ultimately, the Garage Palazzuolo allows you to park near the trade fair of Florence, located inside the Fortezza da Basso, which is located at a 10-minute walk away, as well as Leopolda train station. Are you coming to Florence for an event or do you need to take the train from Santa Maria Novella station? Then the Garage Palazzuolo is what you need ;)
At this car park, you must leave your car keys with the staff.
