Cultural Tip
In most Italian cities the stop sign will show the final destination (e.g., “Museo Nazionale”). Asking politely with *per favore* or a friendly tone is appreciated. Remember that *per il museo* refers to a stop that serves the museum, while *del museo* would imply a stop owned by the museum itself, which is rarely the case.
