Read more details on using taxis in Florence here. If you're staying within the center, the taxis have to respect a fixed set base fee of €22 for the run (plus €1 supplement per suitcase) from the airport to the center and to hotels within the historical center. You might not want to get to the train station and then do the rest on foot, especially after a long journey. The cobblestone streets in Florence are not that easy to navigate with suitcases, even the wheeled ones. If you have large suitcases and are not staying close to the SMN train station, I would suggest getting a taxi to take you directly to your hotel/B&B or apartment. Read more about the tramway and the line linking the airport with SMN on my blog post here.īefore the tramway connected downtown Florence to the airport, you could take the special "Vola in Bus" bus shuttle but this is no longer running. If you don't do that, it counts like riding without a ticket (and subject to fines). ![]() You need to get on the tram and validate your ticket, which means put it in the small yellow machines near the doors and have the machine stamp the date/time on it, thus "activating" the ticket. At the stop, you will find several ticket machines where you can buy your ticket(s). Follow signs that indicate the T2 tram way stop. As you leave the airport, head out of the front door and turn left. Since the opening of the T2 tram line in late February 2019 connecting the central Santa Maria Novella (SMN) train station to the Florence Peretola/Vespucci airport, this has become the easiest (and cheapest) way to reach the center of Florence.įor just €1,50 each way (if you have big suitcases, you do need to buy a ticket for them too, max 2 lpieces of luggage per person allowed), you can reach the main central train station in Florence in about 15 minutes. The airport is also easily reached from other Tuscan cities as it is just off the A11 and A1 Firenze Nord exit : Prato (8 km), Pistoia (24 km), Montecatini (36 km), Lucca (65 km), Siena (68 km), Arezzo (77 km), Pisa (86 km), Carrara and Massa (117 km), Grosseto (143 km), as well as from the sea and its ports: Livorno (115 km) and Piombino (170 km).įor more information, visit the airport's website at: Getting to/from downtown Florence There are also flights to and from the following Italian cities: Bologna, Cagliari, Catania, Milan Malpensa, Olbia, Palermo, Rome Fiumicino, Turin and Verona. The Florence Airport is connected to some of Europe's major airports such as Amsterdam, Barcelona, Brussels, Bucharest, Frankfurt, Geneva, London Gatwick, Madrid, Munich, Paris Charles de Gaulle and Vienna. The center can be reached in about 15 minutes by taxi, and in about 20 minutes with the new tram line T2 operating between the airport and the central railway station of Santa Maria Novella. The airport can be reached from the center of Florence, driving the whole length of Viale Guidoni up to the road leading to the "Firenze Nord/Firenze Mare" superhighway (A1 and A11). The Florence airport (FLR) is called Amerigo Vespucci and is situated on the north-west outskirts of Florence, just 4 km from the city center.
