From Pamplona to Istanbul over Molde and just two weeks ago Thessaloniki. We've already toured many beautiful European cities this European season and Thursday is another of those with the trip to Florence for the outward match in the Conference League semifinals.

Florence is one of Italy's most historic cities and has a population of just under 400,000. Most of the city is recognized as a Unesco World Heritage Site, so any vandalism (even stickers) there is punished extra harshly.

MEETING POINT

Club fans can meet before the match in the city center at the "Piazza Indipendenza. From there, free shuttle buses leave for the stadium from 6 p.m., a ride of about 25 minutes.

The shuttle buses are also immediately the best way to get to the "Artemio Franchi stadium," home of Fiorentina. A march to the stadium (=corteo) is prohibited by Italian law.

Fans traveling to Florence by car can use the private parking lots near the city center. They also prefer to take the shuttle bus at the meeting point for Club fans "Piazza Indipendenza" to continue towards the stadium. You can also take your car directly to the stadium, but parking spaces there are more limited.
