Arriving by plane

Florence Amerigo Vespucci Airport – located in Peretola – is an international airport, yet it is only five kilometres from the city centre, to which it is conveniently connected via tram line T2..
Inside the airport, arrivals side, you will find our tourist infopoint for an initial orientation.

Connections to the city and tickets

The connection to the city centre is provided by the T2 line, ‘Peretola Airport – San Marco University’. The journey to the city centre takes 20 minutes, with services running every 5 minutes.
Buying tickets is easy: at the terminus, located on the left as you exit the airport, there is a ticket machine that accepts coins or credit cards. The paper ticket must be validated on board. Tobacconists (at the airport and in town) also sell paper tickets.

It is, however, very convenient to use the on-board credit card reader. Each person may only swipe their own card. The standard fare is €1.70 and is valid for 90 minutes.
