Flight

Florence Airport (FLR) - Amerigo Vespucci Airport

Taxis are lined up outside the airport. They are fairly priced and easier than Uber. Note - Florence isn't the most drivable city so your taxi driver might not be able to drop you off at your front door but will get you as close as possible! (streets are small and some require permits to drive down)

Flight

Rome Airport - Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport

Once you arrive, grab a taxi, Uber or take the train to Rome! The train from the airport to Roma Termini station is $9-$18/ticket depending on the train and takes between 30-45 minutes. Use the link below to purchase your train ticket (either in advance or when you arrive). Just select From: Fiumicino Aeroporto To: Roma Termini (or whatever destination you'd like). You can also purchase in person - just look for the red machines inside the airport that say "BIGLIETTI" or find a staffed ticket counter. If heading directly to Florence by train after landing in Rome, you'll just add Firenze S. M. Novella as your final destination. There are no direct trains from the Roma airport to Florence so you'll have 1 change.

Train

TrenItalia

Our favorite way to travel through Italy! The easiest route from Rome is Roma Termini station to Firenze Santa Maria Novella station. The high-speed trains run (direct) multiple times an hour. It's roughly a 1.5 hour ride ranging from $35-$50 a ticket. We purchase tickets using the mobile app - Trenitalia or their website linked below. Italo is the other high speed train in Italy. You can purchase in person once you arrive at the station, but purchasing in advance will be cheaper. You can use the link (or app) to purchase tickets for all other cities & towns throughout Italy.
