Tourist information >> How to get to Florence

How to get to Florence

Florence is well-connected with the rest of Italy and with Europe, and is easy to get to by air or land.
In the last few years there has been a significant increase in traffic in and out of Florence's Vespucci Airport, and the infrastructure and facilities are constantly being upgraded.
Florence is also a key node on the Italian railway network. It has good connections with the main cities in the north, while to the south Rome is only about an hour and a half away. Work on the Bologna-Florence stretch of the high-speed railway line (TAV, Treni Alta Velocità) is at an advanced stage, and a new station is due to be built in Florence.
The A1 motorway, the main road artery linking the north and south of the country, runs past Florence, which has four exits. A third lane is currently being built on the Barberino-Incisa stretch of the A1. The A11 motorway and the Florence-Pisa-Livorno dual carriageway link the city with the west (Tyrrhenian) coast.

Villas and gardens

The latest exhibit offered by the Piccoli Grandi Musei ("Little Big Museums") project, curated by the Ente Cassa di Risparmio of Florence, is entitled Villas and Gardens.

It explores the Florence area towards the section known as the "plain”, the buffer area separating Florence, Sesto Fiorentino and Monte Morello.
