10 best practices:

1) visit this website to plan your stay

2) please use the public toilests or those located in bars and restaurants of which you are customer

3) in Florence you can drink fresh and free public water. Take a glass or a travel bottle or reuse empty plastic bottles

4) there are 4 infopoints in the city: piazza Stazione, via Cavour, Bigallo (piazza Duomo) and at the airport: please turn to them

5) if you want to rest or have a snack use proper benches and spaces

6) throw your garbage in the waste bins, use the recycling bins. If Florence remains clean it will also be thanks to you!

7) monuments, churches, statues and other beauties are at your disposal to be admired and visited. Respect them!

8) enjoy the city and respect the others with your behaviour, but also with your clothing, respect places of worship

9) visit the crafts shops and buy original products. Don't buy from illegal street vendors, don't buy fake goods

10) taste the local typical products of the Tuscan tradition

it is forbidden to litter public areas: use waste bins

don't immerse yourself in fountains; don't climb on monuments, do not endanger yourself and others

don't buy counterfeit goods or any goods from illegal street vendors
