CLASSIC ROUTE
THE KEYS
OF ACCESSIBILITY
Florence is a world heritage site and as such it must be accessible to all,
without exclusion.
Florence welcomes people with physical disabilities due to an abundance of

pedestrian areas and accessible historical and artistic sites. It is also unde-
niable that some routes of the city-center - similar to many other historical
cities throughout the world - may present some difficulties for people
using wheelchairs: for example narrow streets, tiny sidewalks that are not
easily passable or not homogeneous pavement. To address this problem
and provide information on which paths are the best to follow for people
with physical disabilities, the Municipality of Florence in collaboration with
Kinoa Srl have designed and published this Guide.
The PASSEPARTOUR project is made up of four volumes, each

describing four different tourist itineraries "without barriers". In addition,
the guide provides a map of the historical city-center, highlighting all the
areas that can be navigated with complete autonomy, or with the support
of a helper.
In addition, Kinoa has developed the navigation app Kimap, which acts
as a companion tool to the guide for the mobility of disabled people,
Kimap can be downloaded for free on every smartphone: the app shows
the most accessible path to reach your desired destination and is
constantly updated.
We hope that this project will contribute to improve the tourist experi-
ence for those visiting our marvellous City, opening the doors to its
extraordinary heritage.

What is Passepartour,
the keys to accessibility
Will I be able to enter this museum with my wheelchair? Which route
should I take to get to this church or restaurant? Where can I find the ser-
vices I need? These are the questions that we want to answer here.
Created using the Kimap technology, which allows to trace the most accessi-
ble route and map the accessibility of points of interest and services, Passepartour
shows to tourists on wheelchairs or electric scooters the easiest itinerary to follow to
reach the main Florentine tourist attractions, providing also the location of acces-
sible services. With the creation and constant updating of this guide, Kinoa srl, devel-
oper of the Kimap technology, intends to offer an essential service to reduce the in-
formation barriers to accessibility and to develop a tourism truly “for all” in Florence.

Classical Route
The itinerary shows an accessible route that allows those who travel by electric
scooter or wheelchair to easily reach the main points of interest in Florence. It starts
from the Santa Maria Novella Train Station then passes by Piazza Duomo (The
Cathedral), Piazza della Signoria, the Uffizi gallery and reaches its halfway point at
Palazzo Pitti. From here, the itinerary leads you back to the starting point, passing
by the splendid via de Tornabuoni and Palazzo Strozzi. The itinerary also includes
a possible shortcut; from via dei Calzaioli to via de ‘Tornabuoni, by crossing Piazza
della Repubblica, this route allows you to halve the duration of the tour. The overall
length of the itinerary measures 3.7 km, covering almost completely flat terrain, and
described in 13 maps (one general and 12 detailed) in which we show the streets
with the best accessibility conditions and an accessibility level for all the points of
interest. Furthermore, a synthetic tourist description, and the locations of accessible
services are provided.
The entrance ticket for disabled people and their companions is free at all the points
of interest shown in the guide.

In Piazza della Signoria it is also possible to admire and visit the “Loggia dei Lanzi”,
built between 1376 and 1381, which hosts a series of remarkable sculptures such
as the Perseus Museo 47
(Cellini) and the “Ratto delle Sabine” (Giambologna). The Fountain
delle Porcellane
of Neptune takes its spot next to Palazzo Vecchio, nearby the Equestrian statue
of Cosimo I de Medici realized by Giambologna. In front of Palazzo Vecchio stands
one replica of the David by Michelangelo, the Marzocco of Donatello and the lion
holding the coat of arms with the Lily flower, two symbols of Florence.

ent-day bridge was built in 1345 by Taddeo Gaddi. In 1400 the bridge became the seat of
most of the city butchers who could easily get rid of their scraps, deriving from their activi-
ties, in the river. Today the bridge is covered on the eastern side by the Vasari Corridor, built

in 1565 by the Vasari to connect directly Palazzo Vecchio, the political and administrative Museo P. Annigoni
centre of the city, to Palazzo Pitti, residence of the Medici family.
Shortly after, the butcheries on Ponte Vecchio were replaced with goldsmiths and jewellers,
whose business activity wasdelle
much Museoappreciated

middle of the bridge there are two panoramic terraces; on the westward side one can find
the monument of Benvenuto Cellini, the most important Florentine goldsmith.
During the retreat of the Nazis in 1944 all the bridges of Florence were blown up except
for Ponte Vecchio, perhaps thanks to the intervention of the German representative of the
v. S. Le
city, Gerhard Wolf, who gave the order to destroy all the crossings but to preserve the old

According to the Legend, Luca Pitti, a Florentine banker and rival of the Medici
family, wished to have a larger and more luxurious residence than the one just
built by Michelozzo for Cosimo il Vecchio (Palace Medici-Riccardi) so he requested
Brunelleschi to build his new grand palace on the other side of the Arno, following
Museo 47
the project discarded by Cosimo.
delle In 1473, Luca Pitti died leaving his palace unfin-
Porcellane
ished. Te irony is that in 1549 the building was bought by the Medici family and
turned into the new grand-ducal residence.
Palazzo Pitti continued to be the royal residence of two other dynasties, the
Habsburg-Lorraine, who succeeded the Medici as grand dukes of Tuscany and
v. S. Le
from 1865 the Phouse e of Savoy, royals of Italy. Although having housed various

families, the

Currently Palazzo Pitti is home to four different museums: The Treasury of the
Grand Dukes on the ground floor, the Palatine Gallery and the Royal and Imperial
Apartments on the first floor of the Palace, the Gallery of Modern Art and the
Museum of Fashion and Costume on the second floor.
Behind Palazzo Pitti there are the Boboli Gardens, a splendid historical park
stretching on a wide surface.
Boboli is one of the prime examples of Italian garden and it is a real open-air mu-
seum, populated with ancient and renaissance-time statues, also decorated with
caves and fountains.
