Traffic information
HOW TO REACH VINCI AND THE LEONARDO MUSEUM
BY CAR: The entire town center will be closed to traffic to allow the event to take place, so it will be necessary to park in one of the many free parking lots arranged for the occasion.
Additionally, there is a FREE shuttle service from all parking areas.
BY TRAIN: Free shuttles depart from Empoli railway station and make an intermediate stop in front of the Hotel da Vinci in Sovigliana. Depending on traffic conditions, the journey takes about 15–20 minutes.
HOW TO REACH LEONARDO’S BIRTHPLACE
BY CAR: The shortest road to reach the Birthplace will be closed to traffic to allow the event to take place. It is possible to reach the Birthplace via two secondary roads:
- Via di Faltognano, towards Vitolini/Carmignano (8.5 km, about 15–20 minutes)
- Via La Magrina, towards Lamporecchio (7 km, about 15–20 minutes)
ON FOOT: From the town center, it is possible to reach the Birthplace via a path called the “Strada Verde per Anchiano,” approximately 1.8 km long.
