Come

By plane

Finnair flies from spring to autumn to Pisa, from where you can reach Florence's Santa Maria Novella railway station (the main railway station) in about an hour by train. The low-cost airline Ryanair also started flights from Tampere to Pisa in 2011. From Rome (Eurostar-) the train journey takes less than 2 hours. You can fly to Florence's own smaller airport (Aeroporto Amerigo Vespucci, Via del Termine, 11 Peretola-Florence) at least from Frankfurt.

By train

Santa Maria Novella Train Station has direct trains to Rome and Bologna. The train journey from Bologna to Florence takes about an hour. Bologna is again well connected, e.g. To Venice, Milan and Rimini.

By road

When moving in the city with your own car, it is worth taking into account the so-called. ZTL area (zona a traffico limitato), ie mainly the area of the old town, where driving requires a separate permit during the day. Driving without permission will result in fines. There are paid parking areas and houses near the Old Town.

Move

Florence is largely a pedestrian city. The historic city center is half an hour’s walk away, so buses are hardly used by tourists. Those staying on the outskirts of the city will benefit.

Most bus lines start at the train station or ignore it. Buses run from 06:00 to 12:00. Tickets for buses are sold by tabacchi (tobacco kiosks), bars and ATAF-branded newsstands.

See

Cathedral dominates the cityscape of Florence. Mainly built in the 14th and 15th centuries Santa Maria del Fiore is one of the largest churches in Europe, and is especially famous for its huge dome list, which rises to a height of 144.5 meters.
Bargello National Museum is located in a Gothic palace built in 1255 as an armory and fortress. It later served as an administration building and prison before it was converted into a museum in 1965. It is home to Florence's largest collection of Renaissance sculptures, including works by Michelangelo (also the earliest), Donatello, Cellini, Giambologna, Luca and Giovanni della Robbia. The museum’s collections also include medieval weapons, oriental rugs, 16th-century majolica tableware, frescoes and Renaissance historic medals.

Ponte Vecchio bridge (r.1348) Across the river Arno. The bridge was built by Neri di Fiorovanti, who replaced the old wooden bridge destroyed in the flood of 1333 with a new one. The Ponte Vecchio bridge was also hit hard in World War II in 1944 and did not escape damage even in the 1966 floods. The Ponte Vecchio ("Old Bridge") is known among jewelers around the world. The bridge is lined with small atmospheric jewel shops. Before, there were butcher shops.
Palazzo Pitti The construction of the palace was started by Luca Fancelli in 1458 to satisfy the mighty goals of the influential banker Luca Pitt. Pitti was jealous of the Medic family and wanted to build a bigger and more impressive palace. Due to the banker's misfortune, the palace was completed years later. In 1865-71, when Florence was the capital of Italy, the palace was inhabited by the royal family of Savoy. After the birth of the Italian Republic in 1946, the art treasures of the palace became state property.

Tea

Power Florence, for example, at Easter and other times especially popular with tourists, such as in August or usually in summer. The masses of people are insane, such cannot be easily understood from here. The looser (relative concept) starts to be from the end of October to February-March. The most important museums (Galleria degli Uffici, Galleria dell'Accademia, Palazzo Pitti) are definitely worth booking in advance online or by phone, unless you want to spend your day queuing.

Take the bus No. 13 or "barn" A (minibus) and board Piazzale Michelangiolo, from above a classic view of one of the most beautiful rivers in the world over the Arno River to the city of Florence, seen from the south. At the same time, visit the Benedictine church in S. Miniato al Monte and the picturesque cemetery behind it.

Bus no 7 takes you to Fiesole, a village in a northerly direction above the town, with stunning views over the town from the opposite direction.

Study and civilize. There are numerous language, cooking, art, etc. schools and course organizers in the city that offer a slightly different way of holidaying.

Buy

There are many bookstores in the city, e.g. great art bookstores where the traveler mixes completely while browsing incredibly stunning works. Bargains are made from discount bookstores. Those traveling by car should succumb to these. Museum bookstores are attractive but very expensive. In luxury jewelers, diamonds sparkle, especially on the Ponte Vecchio. Particularly attractive (and reasonably priced) are handmade earrings imitating Renaissance style, etc., which are sold in more modest-looking small shops here and there. Everything is available in the street market, cashmere shawls and leather goods are the regular catch of this author. Leather jackets are sold all over the city, Italian leather is the finest in the world, just as Italian shoes are the most comfortable and beautiful in the world. These can also be made by hand according to your own measurements. Of course, all the big fashion rooms are also represented in Florence.

Eat

Antica Trattoria da Tito located about a kilometer north of the cathedral along Via San Gallo. Da Tito is a restaurant specializing in meat dishes with an immediate and relaxed atmosphere. The food is Tuscan style and very tasty. It is worth reserving a table well in advance during the high season, as the restaurant is quite popular.
