Getting there

By plane

Florence has a small but modern airport providing international flights to bigger European cities like London, Paris or Berlin. The airport outstands with a great location by A1 motorway.

By car

Autostrada 1 (A1), Italy's major highway, juts into Florence from Bologna from the north, and continues south to Rome. E76 connects Florence with Pisa and the Liguria Sea to the west.

By train

Ferrovie Dello Stato, the Italian state railway, enjoys a sound reputation for efficiency. Because Florence is on the main Rome-Milan Line, riders are offered a variety of daily options, including Intercity trains (IC), known for their express service. Santa Maria Novella, the city's main train station located in the north end of Florence, handles most of the rail traffic. Riffredi, a much smaller station, offers a limited number of rail choices.

By bus

Lazzi Eurolines handles international travel connecting Florence with major European cities such as Brussels, Barcelona, Paris and Prague. Its station is located adjacent to the Santa Maria Novella train station.

Florence is not a usual city. It’s a genteel lady, the capital of Renaissance which is deservedly worth of recognition and appreciation and every visit is a wonderful experience. Let’s hope that newly originating industrial zones and housing estates won’t leave fringes of the city and the historical centre will remain well-preserved for other generations too.
