How to Get Here
Empoli is well connected to the main Tuscan cities and to the regional road and rail network.
By Car
To reach Empoli by car from Florence, it is advisable to take the A1 Autostrada del Sole southbound and exit at Firenze-Scandicci. From there, you can access the Firenze–Pisa–Livorno expressway (SGC FI–PI–LI), a fast and toll-free route connecting the main Tuscan cities. Heading towards Pisa, you will quickly reach the exits for Empoli: Empoli Est, recommended for the city center, and Empoli Ovest, more convenient for accessing the industrial area, such as Terrafino.
Those coming from the coast, such as Livorno or Collesalvetti, can join the FI–PI–LI after a short connecting road, heading towards Florence. Here too, the Empoli Est or Ovest exits provide easy access to the city and its industrial zones.
For those arriving from the north via Pisa, it is advisable to exit at Pisa-Centro, from where you can quickly connect to the FI–PI–LI and head towards Florence, reaching Empoli via the Est or Ovest exits, depending on your destination.
This route is particularly convenient for those visiting or working with companies in the Empoli glassmaking district, thanks to its strategic location and the excellent accessibility offered by the expressway.
