Flying to Florence — your questions answered
- How much are flights to Florence?
- It depends heavily on which airport you use. Florence's own Amerigo Vespucci (FLR) is small and served mainly from European hubs, and there is no non-stop from the United States — flying into Rome, Milan or Pisa and taking a fast train is often both cheaper and quicker. Booking six to eight weeks ahead and flying midweek helps on any of them. Search live fares above for your dates.
- When is the best time to visit Florence?
- April–May and September–October are ideal: warm 20–25°C days, lighter crowds and moderate prices. Summer is hot, humid and busy, while February and November are cheapest and quietest, perfect for queue-free museums, if cooler and wetter.
- Which airport should I fly into for Florence?
- Florence's own Amerigo Vespucci airport (FLR) is small, served mainly by European routes, and linked to the centre by the T2 tram in about 20 minutes. Many international and long-haul travellers instead fly into Pisa (PSA), an hour away by shuttle and train, or into Rome or Milan and connect onward by high-speed train.
- Do I need to book Florence's attractions in advance?
- Yes for the big three — the Uffizi, the Accademia (David) and the climb of Brunelleschi's dome all use timed tickets that sell out days ahead. Many sights, including the cathedral itself, the churches, the open-air sculpture of Piazza della Signoria and the viewpoints, are free.
- Is Florence walkable, or do I need public transport?
- Florence has no metro, and it barely needs one: the compact historic centre is best explored entirely on foot, with almost every sight within a 15-minute walk. The tram is mainly useful for the airport, and trains from Santa Maria Novella station open up day trips across Tuscany.
