Palazzo Alfieri is located in the heart of Florence, overlooking Lungarno Corsini, a stone’s throw from Ponte Vecchio, the Uffizi, and other famous sites in the city. Its central and strategic location makes it easy to get to by any means of transport.

The Palazzo is located in the historic city centre, in a restricted traffic zone. It has a short-term car park, just a few metres before the main entrance, at 6 Lungarno Corsini, which can be used for unloading luggage. It is advisable to follow the directions provided, as the roads in the historic city centre are subject to frequent changes and endless updates on navigation devices.
Coming from the A1 motorway, the recommended exit is Firenze Impruneta. Follow the signs for the city centre. Following the signs for Florence, you’ll come to a roundabout near a large gate, Porta Romana. Enter the city centre through Porta Romana and continue straight on Via Romana. At the end of the road, as soon as you reach a junction, turn slightly onto Via Maggio and continue straight ahead until you reach the bridge.
