FIRENZE
FROM ACCADEMIA TO
SANTISSIMA ANNUNZIATA

THE KEYS
OF ACCESSIBILITY
Florence is a world heritage site and as such it must be accessible to all,
without exclusion.

Florence welcomes people with physical disabilities due to an abundance of

pedestrian areas and accessible historical and artistic sites. It is also unde-
niable that some routes of the city-center - similar to many other historical
cities throughout the world - may present some difficulties for people
using wheelchairs: for example narrow streets, tiny sidewalks that are not
easily passable or not homogeneous pavement. To address this problem
and provide information on which paths are the best to follow for people
with physical disabilities, the Municipality of Florence in collaboration with
Kinoa Srl have designed and published this Guide.

The PASSEPARTOUR project is made up of four volumes, each

describing four different tourist itineraries "without barriers". In addition,
the guide provides a map of the historical city-center, highlighting all the
areas that can be navigated with complete autonomy, or with the support
of a helper.
In addition, Kinoa has developed the navigation app Kimap, which acts
as a companion tool to the guide for the mobility of disabled people,
Kimap can be downloaded for free on every smartphone: the app shows
the most accessible path to reach your desired destination and is
constantly updated.

We hope that this project will contribute to improve the tourist experi-
ence for those visiting our marvellous City, opening the doors to its
extraordinary heritage.

Cecilia Del Re
Councilor for Tourism of the City of Florence
 What is Passepartour,
the keys to accessibility
Will I be able to enter this museum with my wheelchair? Which route should I take to get to this church or
restaurant? Where can I find the services I need? These are the questions that we want to answer here.

Created using the Kimap technology, which allows to trace the most accessible route and map
the accessibility of points of interest and services, Passepartour shows to tourists on wheelchairs
or electric scooters the easiest itinerary to follow to reach the main Florentine tourist attractions,
providing also the location of accessible services. With the creation and constant updating of this
guide, Kinoa srl, developer of the Kimap technology, intends to offer an essential service to re-
duce the information barriers to accessibility and to develop a tourism truly “for all” in Florence.

 Accademia to Santissima Annunziata

The present itinerary brings you to discover the northern area of ​​the historical city
center of Florence, a very small portion of the city territory, less than one hectare
that contains invaluable cultural and artistic treasures. The itinerary departs from
Palazzo Medici Riccardi, junction point with the “Classic Itinerary”, gets
you to Piazza Santissima Annunziata, the cradle of the Renaissance.
After visiting its treasures, the Galleria dell’Accademia and its masterpieces lies
next on your path (300m), as well as the paintings by Beato Angelico in the San
Marco Museum while the “Chiostro dello Scalzo” stands at the end of the route.

Before getting back to the starting point, one short detour leads to the “Giardino de‘
Semplici” and to a very important scientific museum. The itinerary measures approx-
imately 2.4 km of flat surface, in described in a series of detailed maps of the streets
with the best accessibility conditions. The texts provide some descriptions and tourist
information, describing also the accessibility level of the points of interest along the way.

The entrance ticket for disabled people and their companions is free in all the points
of interest indicated in the guide.
