How to get
to Florence
Florence is easily reached
by plane, train or car.
Regional trains also arrive and depart from Santa Maria Novella several times per hour, connecting Florence to other cities in Tuscany. There are also interregional and international trains.
The A1 exits for Florence are Firenze Nord, Firenze Scandicci, Firenze Impruneta, and Firenze Sud.
If you come to Florence by car, remember that traffic in the city center is limited by the ZTL (Zona Traffico Limitato). The ZTL requires that you leave your car at one of the many car parks operated by the “Firenze Parcheggi” network, whose costs and hours vary according to location.
How to get to
the symposium
The symposium takes place at the Palazzo dei Congressi in Piazza Adua 1. The Palazzo dei Congressi is next to Firenze Santa Maria Novella train station.
Palazzo dei Congressi has no parking on site. There is parking in the surrounding areas.
From the city center, guests can easily walk to the symposium.
The tramway is an alternative to move around the city. The conference center is connected to the motorway through line T1 and to the airport through line T2.
