We are renting a car at Pisa airport on Saturday June 21 and after an overnight stay and touring Pisa and Lucca we will head to Florence on sunday evening. Our rental apartment is on Borgo San Lorenzo and we will use the car again on Monday to go to Siena and San Gimignano before finally returning the car in Florence that night.
After much reading about the ZTL and consulting our apartment owners, I'm still not clear on whether or not the ZTL is open to everybody on sunday evening around 7pm. We are planning on only accessing it to drop our luggage by the Mercato San Lorenzo and walking it to our apartment within the pedestrian area. The driver will then go try to park the car overnight by Piazzale Michelangelo and bus back to the apartment.
Is this a feasible plan? Will we be able to access without a permit for a little while? Or should we just park it overnight at the Mercato San Lorenzo parking? We are trying to save a bit of money here and there.
Thank you!
