The lifestyle in Florence is marked by its immense cultural heritage, which has its upsides and downsides. Florence is never dull thanks to its unique architecture; every walk to work or afternoon stroll is like an excursion to a museum. Everything you rest your eyes on is stunning and delightfully unique, which makes you want to savour the moment and make it last.
The Old Bridge is probably one of the most photographed and known sights of Italy. Numerous churches are more museums than religious buildings now, and Santa Maria del Fiore stands out among them all as the most dominant yet elegant and airy of all. The majestic cathedral is best appreciated from the Piazzale Michelangelo viewpoint, offering the best panorama of Florence, opening from a hill on the south bank of the Arno. Tuscany is also synonymous with fine wines and delicious food, and Florence is no exception to this rule. Numerous restaurants happily serve local wines and specialities, and olive oil and chianti are among the most typical souvenirs from Florence.
However, the historic centre of Florence is at the source of its main downside for visiting and living. It can be overcrowded during the summer months and crowded during the rest of the year. You can’t drive around the city centre unless you are living or staying there, and even if you do – your driving is limited to your zone, and this is usually heavily policed. But these drawbacks can be easily overlooked if you let Florence enchant you, slow down your pace and enjoy the moment.
The biggest international airport for Florence is Pisa airport. It is located 85 kilometres to the west of serviced apartments in Florence city centre. It is used by major national carriers like British Airways and popular low-cost operators like Ryanair. Most visitors arrive in Florence via this airport, and they can choose between different transport options.
Florence airport, known as Amerigo Vespucci and situated 4 kilometres to the northwest of the centre of Florence, is not extensively used for international flights. If you do travel to Florence via this airport, you may be interested in using a bus shuttle called Volainbus that runs between Florence Airport and the main bus station of Florence every 30 minutes.
Distances in Italy are large, and if you are travelling between cities and regions, trains are one of the best ways to do so. Florence is a major hub on the Trenitalia route of Freccia, a fast train running from north to south of Italy. An hour and a half long journey on such a train from Rome Termini to Florence will cost you around 50 euros, and online tickets can be bought from the Trenitalia website or vending machines at your station.
For getting around between Florence itself and its industrial satellites of Pistoia and Prato, use regional trains that run every 15 minutes from the central railway station and cost under 5 euros per trip. Single and return tickets are available from machines and ticket offices at the station but bear in mind that English may not be spoken there.
City buses in Florence are very convenient, the main service providers are ATAF and LI-NEA. The central train station Santa Maria Novella (SMN) is also the main bus and tram station for Florence, providing seamless connections between different routes. Tickets are available from sales points in bars and newsagents, and any business that has an ATAF sticker on their window. Choose between a single-use ticket for 1,50 euros and a multi-use ticket for 4 rides at 4, 70 euros.
The two tramlines of Florence, T1 and T2, run across the city from the south-eastern Scandici and between the main train station and the airport of Florence. Trams are the easiest and cheapest transport for Florence. This is because the same tickets are valid for buses and trams, allowing a lot of flexibility. All tickets must be validated on board, and a ticket can only be used in the next 90 minutes.
