Parking
Firenze fiera does not have a public parking spaces. There are various parkings nearby managed by Firenze Parcheggi (the closest being the one at the main train station Firenze SMN just a couple of minutes away and the one at Fortezza da Basso). Further information can be found at the following link: https://www.fipark.com/
A good idea to park is outside the city center and use the tramway to get into Florence. Once you are in Florence it might not be necessary to use the car during your stay.
