ZTL No Problem
Little tips to reach without problems the Grand Hotel Minerva.

Dear Guest,
we are pleased to welcome you to Florence. Please be informed that our hotel is situated in a Trafic Limited Zone. The ZTL is patrolled by cameras that photograph every vehicle entering it. Our staff will enter your plate number into a dedicated Internet page so you will receive no traffic ticket.

In case you need to use your car again during your stay, please remind our staff to report again your plate number every time you come back to the hotel.

We also take the liberty to inform you not to drive into bus lanes (this sign is shown and there is a yellow stripe along the lane): many of this are patrolled by cameras and also by public transport staff as well as town police.
Your car will be parked at a garage nearby by the garage staff: payment conditions are displayed on the reception desk. The corresponding amount will be charged on the room bill. To have your car brought back to the garage, please allow us 10-15 minutes.

Please consider the hotel staff at your disposal for further information.

For clients trying to reach the hotel:

- From the Pisa airport “G. Galilei”, we suggest to take the train for Firenze Santa Maria Novella with departures every hour.

- At the Florence airport “A. Vespucci”, we suggest to take the shuttle bus to the train station Santa Maria Novella, or a taxi which will take about 15 minutes.

- Upon arriving at the train station Santa Maria Novella we suggest a 200 metre walk to the hotel or a taxi that will only take a few minutes.

- By car we suggest that if you arriving from southern Italy to exit the highway A1 at “Firenze Certosa” and who is arriving from northern Italy must exit the highway ar “Firenze Nord”. The directions to follow are those for “Firenze Centro” and then for “Stazione Centrale”.
