The exact postal address is Piazza del Duomo, 50122 Firenze FI. Florence sits north of the Arno river. The Historic Centre of Florence has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1982.

A 5-minute walk south takes visitors to Piazza della Signoria, the city's medieval civic square. A 10-minute walk west reaches Santa Maria Novella railway station, the main rail hub of Florence. The dome is the most visible landmark for orientation inside the historic core.
