HOW TO GET TO FLORENCE

Downtown Florence can be easily reached from the Amerigo Vespucci airport (Florence airport) using a new city tramway ( https://www.gestramvia.it/?lang=en ).
From the airport, it takes 25 minutes to reach Santa Maria Novella Station (the main railway station) and 35 minutes to reach San Marco Square. The airport is located only 5 km from downtown, making taxi an option as well. For more information, visit the airport website at: http://www.aeroporto.firenze.it/en/ .

Downtown Florence can also be reached in one hour by bus shuttles and trains from Pisa airport (Galileo Galilei airport, about 80 km from Florence) or in around one hour by trains from Bologna airport (Guglielmo Marconi airport, about 100 km from Florence, https://www.bologna-airport.it/en/welcome-to-bologna-airport/?idC=62175 ).
