Florence is a timeless canvas of stone and light. Below, find flight coordinates, selective boutique hotels, and local recommendations.
Florence Airport, Peretola (FLR): Located just 20 minutes from the city center. Best for domestic/European connections.
Pisa International Airport (PSA): Located 1 hour away. An easy direct train connects Pisa Airport to Florence Santa Maria Novella (SMN) central station.
Firenze Santa Maria Novella (SMN): High-speed trains run constantly from Rome (1.5 hrs), Milan (2 hrs), and Venice (2 hrs). The station is located in the absolute heart of Florence.
Taxis are readily available outside the SMN station and major hotels. Florence itself is a highly walkable pedestrian city; cars are generally discouraged inside the ZTL (historic center).
