Palazzo Uguccioni is located in the northeast corner of Florence's Piazza della Signoria - in the heart of the city center. From the palazzo, you step outside into this famous piazza's open-air museum, and walk to all of the city's most famous monuments within minutes. We are around the corner from the Ponte Vecchio, down the street from the Duomo, a short stroll to Piazza Santa Croce, and only steps from the Uffizi. You can't find a better location from which to explore Florence!
Florence's main train station is called "Santa Maria Novella". The station is about 10-15 minutes walking from Palazzo Uguccioni; however, we recommend taking a taxi to the Palazzo if you have any luggage, since it can be difficult pulling luggage across our ancient cobblestone streets! There are taxi stands at the station, and you can tell your driver to take you to #7 Piazza della Signoria. Make online train reservations, or check train times online here: www.ferroviedellostato.it
Arriving by Plane
Florence's airport is called "Peretola Airport". From the airport, take a taxi to Palazzo Uguccioni at #7 Piazza della Signoria. It will take approximately 20-25 minutes, depending on traffic.
Arriving by Car & Parking
The entire historic center of Florence (generally speaking the part located within the ancient walls of the city) is a "zona a traffico limitato (ZTL)" or restricted traffic zone. Special rules govern access to this area, as well as transit and parking in this zone. It is no longer possible to drive straight to Palazzo Uguccioni in Piazza della Signoria, as it has recently been designated a pedestrian zone. We can recommend several options if you plan to arrive by car:
