    • 3.For a glove-compartment copy, print at 150% on A4, then fold to A5.
    • 4.Save as PDF from your browser: File → Print → 'Save as PDF'.
    • 5.The map works in black and white — region boundaries use line weight, not colour alone.

    Practical Driving Notes

    ZTL Zones (Zona Traffico Limitato)

    All historic town centres — Florence, Siena, Lucca, Arezzo — operate restricted traffic zones. Park at designated car parks outside the walls and walk in. Entering a ZTL without a permit issues an automatic fine.

    Strade Bianche (White Gravel Roads)

    Many villas — particularly in the Val d'Orcia and deeper Chianti — are accessed via unpaved gravel roads. A standard hire car handles these at slow speed. Check access conditions with your villa team before arrival. GPS signal is often unreliable on strade bianche.

    Motorway Key Routes

    A1 (Autostrada del Sole): Florence ↔ Siena ↔ Rome. A11: Florence ↔ Pisa ↔ Lucca. A12: Pisa ↔ Livorno ↔ coast. Toll roads — bring cash or a compatible card.

    Airports

    Pisa Galileo Galilei (PSA): main UK/low-cost hub. Florence Peretola (FLR): smaller, closer to central Tuscany. Rome Fiumicino (FCO) and Bologna (BLQ) are viable for southern Tuscany with a 2–3 hour drive.
