Getting to Florence, Italy

If you want to fly into Florence from the US, I recommend their airport FLR or Amerigo Vespucci Airport. In my experience flights range from 8-15 hours depending which state you are coming from. Another option that sometimes can be cheaper is flying into Bologna (BLQ) or Pisa (PIS). These airports have a shuttle system that connects directly to their main train stations and you can get to Florence in just a few hours. 

For those coming from a European country I recommend taking a train in. Trains are a great way to travel on a budget while still saving time. Florence's major train station is called Florence Santa Maria Novella Station (Stazione di Santa Maria Novella).

Keep in mind FLR is a very small airport. This does make it easier to navigate and get around, however, it does have limited flights and airlines flying in and out.

Where to Stay

I have stayed in a variety of places in Florence, from Airbnb's, to hotels, to my own apartment. The best recommendation I have is finding a place near the Duomo. This landmark is a central point of the city. Being near this site allows you to be within walking distance of most of the city. To reach the furthest points from here is about a 20 minute walk.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Hi! I am Anna a Rochester, NY based travel planner. I am here to help you with every step of your next vacation. I can help you plan a luxury vacation without that luxury price tag! I work full time as a Events Coordinator and am incredibly passionate about planning and travel. I want to see as many countries and cities as I can and hope to help you get away too. My passion for travel began in 2019 when I lived abroad in Florence, Italy for a year. Because of this experience, I have since been to 19 countries and visited many cities in them! My favorite will always be Florence, but Copenhagen, Denmark and Ljubljana, Slovenia are close seconds! I specialize in travels to Italy, UK, France and love to plan trips to smaller, less traveled countries and cities! Outside of travel and my day job I love to read (anything fantasy) and I spend time cooking and working out with my boyfriend. I am also an avid plant enthusiast and have over 80 plants in my 2 bedroom apartment (much to the dismay of my boyfriend). In the past 3 years I have booked several vacations for clients. The two I consider my greatest achievements were both international adventures. One was for 40 days, 4 people across 9 countries. This trip cost each person less than $6,000 each and they got to experience so many different foods, stays, activities and places! The second was a 14 day, 11 person trip across 2 countries and 4 cities. This trip was more luxurious, however, the family that worked with me saved $30,000 compared to working with a different travel agent. Both trips highlight my ability to plan different kinds of vacations, while keeping your budget in mind.
