Car Hire in Florence - Getting to Florence

Florence has two airports - Galileo Galilei is nearer Pisa, and services for international flights from London, Paris, Munich and major Italian cities. Amerigo Vespucci is closer and for domestic flights. Both have regular shuttle connections to the city.

There are also two bus stations. Buses leaving and arriving at Lazzi station travel all over Italy and to many European cities, while the SITA local station services many smaller destinations throughout Tuscany, such as Siena, Arezzo and Castellina.

Rail is a popular way to reach Florence, with direct service to and from Milan, Venice, Trieste, Verona, Bologna and Pisa. Italian trains are fast (if you catch the right class), reliable and comfortable, they are also relatively cheap.

A car is the best way to see Italy and Tuscany is one of its prettiest regions. The road network is excellent. You can take the A1 to Bologna and Milan in the north or Rome and Naples in the south. Local roads travel west to the lovely coast or northeast to Venice.
