May Day: national strike may cause disruptions to museums, transport and services

A 24-hour national strike is scheduled for 1 May 2026 affecting public and private sector workers. Impacts will be uneven across the country: some services may slow down or be reduced, including access to cultural sites.

  • Timing: full day of 1 May 2026.
  • Transport: minimum service windows generally apply (commonly 7:00–10:00 and 18:00–21:00), but local arrangements can differ—check notices from local transport companies.
  • Health services: emergency and essential care (A&E, urgent surgeries, emergency transport) are guaranteed; scheduled outpatient services and non-urgent procedures may be postponed depending on staff participation.
  • Cultural venues and museums: closures or limited access may occur. Some institutions have announced partial openings (e.g. Uffizi: Gallery of Statues and Paintings 13:30–18:30; Boboli Garden 8:15–18:30), but verify hours and accessible sections before visiting.
  • Practical tip: consult official websites and local institutional channels for real-time updates and plan alternatives for travel and visits.

The strike coincides with International Workers’ Day, a date with symbolic significance for labour rights and working conditions. For the latest information, follow communications from local administrations, health authorities and cultural institutions.
