Florence Airport – Peretola
From the PERETOLA AIRPORT you can decide to arrive at the accommodation in VIA DEI PILASTRI 55:
- by TAXI arriving directly at the accommodation in about 20 minutes. The cost is around €30 but the rate may vary depending on the number of passengers, luggage or time (night).
- by PUBLIC TRANSPORT, with a total journey of about 50/60 minutes (very cheap). Outside the airport you will find an urban train (TRAMVIA T2) that will take you to the city center in the station area (stop “Alamanni Station” or “Valfonda Station”), from where you can continue by taxi, walking or with a bus.
TRAMVIA T2. This transport has an average frequency of about 4/10 minutes. Journey time 25 minutes.
Remember to buy the ticket. The cost is €1.70. You can use the same ticket for subsequent transport (bus) for up to 90 minutes. You can buy it:
- Before boarding, at the ticket machine on the quay. Remember to stamp your ticket on board (only once).
- Directly on board with the contactless system, use a credit, debit or prepaid card or your smartphone. (REMEMBER 1 bank→1 ticket). Whenever you change buses, you will need to pass the card to validate your ticket, the system will automatically understand if the trip is within the validity period of the ticket or if you need to buy a new one.
When you arrive in the city centre (“Alamanni Stazione” or “Valfonda Stazione”) you can decide to continue:
- by TAXI: It will take you directly to the accommodation in about 8 minutes.
- WALKING: 20 minutes with comfortable suitcases.
- by PUBLIC TRANSPORT: BUS 6A, 6B or BUS C2.
BUS 6 (A or B). This bus has an average frequency of about 10 minutes.
Leave the tram stop “VALFONDA STAZIONE” and cross the road leaving the station behind. Turn left and reach the bus stop “STAZIONE PIAZZA ADUA”.
Get on BUS 6A or 6B and get off at the stop in Via della Colonna ( “COLONNA LICEO MICHELANGELO”). Continue walking for about 4 minutes.
BUS C2. This bus has an average frequency of about 15/20 minutes.
If you get off the tram at the stop “ALAMANNI STAZIONE” cross the street and go right in via degli Ortioricellari reach the stop “ORTI ORICELLARI”.
If you get off the tram at the stop “VALFONDA STAZIONE” go in the direction of the historic center take via Panzani and at number 13 find the stop “PANZANI”.
In both cases get off at the stop “GHIBELLINA PEPI”. Continue walking for 5 minutes.
The BUS C2 is very popular with commuters and carries a maximum of 25 people (I recommend it only if you travel with small luggage). At certain times of the day you may not be able to board.
