Find the correct entrance at Via dei Servi 66/R, walk from the Duomo or SMN station, and avoid the nearby museum with a similar name. This guide covers tram and bus stop areas, airport travel, luggage, driving restrictions, accessibility checks and arrival timing.
Walking is simplest from the Duomo, central Florence and SMN station. Use the full address, not just “Leonardo museum”, when choosing any route.
From the Duomo, follow Via dei Servi toward Piazza Santissima Annunziata. The museum is about 100 metres along this street.
From Firenze Santa Maria Novella, the museum gives a 14-minute walk via Via Panzani and Via dei Cerretani to Piazza Duomo, then Via dei Servi.
Many public buses stop near Piazza Santissima Annunziata and Piazza San Marco. These are the useful stop areas for the final approach.
Tram T2 currently connects Florence Airport with Piazza San Marco. From there, continue on foot to Via dei Servi.
The museum lists T1 Alamanni-Stazione and T2 Unità among useful tram stops. Both still leave a central walk to the entrance.
A taxi can help with a hotel outside the centre or limited mobility. Show the driver “Via dei Servi 66/R” in writing.
The museum sits inside Florence’s ZTL, the restricted-traffic area. Driving to the door is not a simple visitor option.
Reaching the block is not enough. Two Leonardo museums are very close together and tickets are not interchangeable.
The visitor entrance is at number 66/R on Via dei Servi, next to the Bartolini shop.
A guided walk may use a separate meeting point before the museum visit. The voucher, not the museum address, is the meeting instruction.
From the Duomo, continue straight along Via dei Servi. Signs near Via del Castellaccio can lead to a different Leonardo museum about 50 metres away.
Useful nearby bus-stop areas are Piazza Santissima Annunziata and Piazza San Marco. Check the operator’s live planner for route numbers and diversions.
Alight here when your live route stops at Piazza San Marco, then walk toward Via dei Servi and confirm 66/R.
This square is close to the museum. Walk along Via dei Servi and check the red-number address before queuing.
Bus routes can change for traffic, works and events. Use Autolinee Toscane before leaving your hotel.
These are planning patterns, not guaranteed timings. Check live transport before travelling.

Tram T2 currently links Florence Airport with Piazza San Marco in the city centre.
Show the driver the written destination: Via dei Servi 66/R, Firenze. The final street approach may still require a short walk.

At the Duomo, take Via dei Servi toward Piazza Santissima Annunziata.

Guided products can meet away from the museum entrance. Use the time and place printed on your voucher.
Street names and the red-number address are more reliable than a distant landmark or a general “Leonardo museum” sign.
