Where can I find a taxi?
'Taxi' is borrowed from English but pronounced 'TAK-si' in Italian, with a short 'a'.
Use when you arrive somewhere — an airport, train station, or unfamiliar neighbourhood — and need to locate the nearest taxi rank.
'Dove posso' combines 'dove' (where) with the modal 'posso' (I can/may). 'Trovare' means to find. Italian taxis are official licensed vehicles — do not confuse them with unlicensed drivers offering rides.

Asks about phone/app ordering rather than a physical rank.

Is there an app to book a taxi?
Relevant in cities with itTaxi or similar apps.
In Italy, taxis must be taken from official ranks or called by phone/app. Hailing one in the street is technically allowed but uncommon in most cities. Never accept rides from unlicensed touts at airports.
