Get to Florence by flight
March 4, 2011
If you’re getting to Florence by flight, here are some useful informations to get from the airports to Mr My Resort Inn.
1. From Pisa airport to Florence: “Pisa Airport – G. Galilei” http://www.pisa-airport.com/ (english version availabile)is located between 1h to 2hours and half from Florence city center, depending on the transport you choose. By bus: http://www.terravision.eu/florence_pisa.html , by train http://www.ferroviedellostato.it/homepage_en.html (put “Pisa ae” for Pisa airport and Firenze for Florence train station). Actually there is a special 1 hour high speed service, available until 8PM (after 8pm there are some trains to get in Firenze stazione in 1h and 40 min. ).Tickdet price is about 5,00-6,00 euros per person. There is also a taxi service leaving from the Pisa airport at a fixed price of euros 150,00 (it takes about 40 minutes to get into the historic center of Florence).
Rent a car in Pisa and get in Florence center: this is not the best. If you want to spend your time in Florence, then your car will stay in a garage or a parking because you can take the car just to drive outside the city center and amd not into the historic center like some residents can do with a special permission. We suggest you to save money and rent a car when you leave Florence to get in the countryside like Chianti area, Siena, etc. Or: rent your car in the morning and go outside Florence for a daily trip and then drop it off to the car rental in the evening and skip the garage tariffs!
2. From Florence airport to Florence center: Florence airport “Firenze Peretola Airport – A. Vespucci” http://www.aeroporto.firenze.it/IT/index.php (english version available) is very close to the city center. Taxi is the best way. The tariff is between 18,00 – 22,00 euros including your bags, and you will arrive at the B&B in no more than 15-20 minutes depending on the traffic around the city center.
