How to arrive and Getting around

How to arrive

By Plane
Amerigo Vespucci Airport, 5 kilometers from the center, has both domestic and international lines.
Daily flights regularly connect Florence to Milan's Linate Airport and Rome's Fiumicino Airport.

ByTrain
The central station in Florence, at Santa Maria Novella, constitutes an important focal point for national and international traffic.
The city is connected to the major train lines and thus to the most important locations in Italy and abroad.
Connections to Milan, Bologna, Genoa, Rome and Pisa are especially convenient.

Getting arround

Public Transportation
The most convenient way to travel in Florence is without a doubt the buses, which allow one to reach the historical center, closed to private traffic.
Tickets can be acquired at bars, tobacco stands, or the urban ATAF bus offices; prices are low and are valid throughout the urban transport system.

By Taxi
The radio-taxi service is convenient, but naturally much more expensive than public transportation, especially where traffic is intense.
Authorized taxis are white with yellow signs and the fare is indicated only by the meter. There is a supplement for night travel and for baggage.
The telephone numbers for calling radio-taxis are the following: 4798, 4242, 4390.
