Respect the people who live here
Florence, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1982, is a city like no other. But it’s also our home, and an open-air museum that deserves respect.
You’re one of more than 9 million visitors who choose it as their destination every year, keep that in mind! Help us keep it livable and authentic. Preserving its beauty, and the everyday life of the people who live here, matters.
A few simple rules!
- Keep the noise down: have fun, but respect residents’ rest, especially in the evening and at night.
- Dress appropriately: around the city, and especially inside churches, avoid beachwear and cover your shoulders and knees where required.
- Give others room: don’t block streets and sidewalks, give way to people with reduced mobility, and park bikes only in designated spots.
- Avoid risky or damaging behavior: don’t climb on monuments or artwork, wade into fountains, sit on bridge parapets, or swim in the Arno.
- And, above all, help us keep the city clean!
Thank you, on behalf of everyone who calls Florence home, we’ll be waiting for you!
