Getting to Florence

Getting Around Florence

Florence is a highly walkable city, with the historic center easily navigable on foot. For airport transfers, the T2 Tram runs every few minutes to the Santa Maria Novella train station for €1.50 and takes about 20 minutes. Taxis from the airport have a fixed fare of €28 during the day, with additional charges for luggage or night travel, taking approximately 15 minutes to reach the city center.

Practical Tips for Your Visit

Book museum tickets (Uffizi, Accademia) 4-6 weeks in advance to avoid multi-hour queues.

Wear comfortable walking shoes; the historic center is paved with cobblestones that can be tough on feet.

Tipping is not mandatory in Italy, but leaving a few euros for good service is appreciated.

Check for tourist taxes at your accommodation, which typically cost €3–€7 per night.

The Oltrarno district offers a more relaxed, artisanal vibe, making it an excellent base if you want to avoid the main tourist crowds.

Carry a universal power adapter (Type C/F) for your devices.

If you are a solo female traveler, the city is generally safe and very walkable, but stay aware of your surroundings in crowded tourist areas like the Duomo.
