Luggage storage

If you need to leave your luggage while the conference is in progress, we will have spaces where you can safely leave your belongings.

Outside conference hours, you can contact one of the many private companies that provide this service: a selection is highlighted in the map below. In many cases it is possible, and perhaps advisable, to book a space before going to the venue.

Taxi

There are various taxi driver cooperatives active in Florence. The city's taxis are white and can be contacted by phone or found at taxi stands (see the map below). The main cooperatives are:
