THE “SCUDO VERDE” IN FLORENCE: HOW TO REACH THE FH55 HOTELS
Florence has activated the “Scudo Verde” (Green Shield), an Environmental Restricted Traffic Zone which controls access to the city with electronic gates.
The most polluting vehicles (Euro 0, Euro 1 and, in the future, Euro 2 and 3) will not be able to enter this zone.
What you need to do before you reach an FH55 Hotel in Florence
1) Before entering the city, check your vehicle’s Euro category by clicking here >
2) If your vehicle is subject to the restrictions, we suggest using a “Park and Ride” area or contact the hotel’s reception for alternatives. Telephone numbers and email addresses are found at the bottom of the website page.
3) Video cameras are active 24 hours a day: unauthorized access will result in a fine being issued.
4) The access routes to the city are monitored by over 70 video cameras (“gates”), clearly marked with “Scudo Verde – ZTL attiva”.
For more information and to see the official map of the gates, contact the hotel’s reception or visit the Municipality of Florence’s website.
FH55 Hotel Calzaiuoli, FH55 Grand Hotel Mediterraneo, FH55 Med Executive Hotel, and FH55 Med Guesthouse are inside the Scudo Verde.
FH55 Grand Hotel Mediterraneo has a large covered and uncovered garage.
