Florence Airport (FLR)

Florence’s international airport Peretola, formally Amerigo Vespucci Airport, is around 4 km from the city centre, located on the northwest outskirts of Florence. The city centre can be reached in about 15 minutes by taxi, and about 20 minutes by bus. A special bus called “Vola in bus” gets you to the city centre, to S. Maria Novella railway station (SMN) in 20-25 minutes. The bus runs daily, including Sundays and holidays. The bus departs from the airport every 30 minutes between 5:30am to 8:30pm after that it runs every hour until 11:45pm. The last bus is at 1am. Tickets can be bought directly when boarding the bus, but be aware only one-way tickets are available from the driver. Round-trip tickets must be purchased before boarding the bus from ATAF and Li-nea resellers or from newsagents. To take a taxi from the airport to central Florence takes about 15 minutes and you will find the taxi stand in front of the terminal. When taking a taxi, make sure to read the display with price information inside the vehicle so that you pay the correct price. Car rental companies are situated at “Palagio degli Spini” and are connected to the airport by a free shuttle bus. The shuttle bus runs every 20 minutes.
