| GETTING
THERE |
Florence has two airports
- Amerigo Vespucci for domestic flights and Galileo Galilei (near
Pisa) for international flights. Galilei has regular connections to
London, Paris, Munich and major Italian cities. There are also two
bus stations. For international services, which go all over Europe,
you need the Lazzi station - buses to Rome also go from this station.
For domestic services to Siena, Arezzo, Castellina and all over Tuscany,
go to the SITA station.
Florence is connected by train to Rome, Milan, Venice, Trieste, Verona,
Bologna and Pisa. If you're travelling by car, you can take the A1
to Bologna and Milan in the north or Rome and Naples in the south.
GETTING AROUND
A city bus runs every 20 minutes from the main train station to Amerigo
Vespucci airport. There's a train service between the main station
and Galileo Galilei airport.
Buses service the city centre and Fiesole, in the hills north-east
of town. Bus tickets can be bought at tobacconists or vending machines,
and must be validated as you get on the bus. Tickets are sold on a
time basis - you can get one-hour, two-hour and 24-hour tickets.
Traffic is restricted in the city centre, so it's best to park a little
out of town and walk around - parking in the more central areas is
very expensive. Taxis wait outside Stazione di Santa Maria Novella,
or you can phone one. |
