Florence City Airports. Taxis and Transfers to Florence
The local airport is named after the famous navigator and explorer Amerigo Vespucci. It is located northwest of the center in an area of the city called Peretola. It is worth noting that Florence city airport is quite small in size. In most cases, it is used during summer vacations or at other times of the year for business trips.
This point is also popular with low-cost airlines that fly here. Interestingly, the airport has only one terminal serving all passenger flights. Thus, getting lost in the airport or not finding the way to your car will be quite difficult.
There are several ways to get to the city center from the airport. Among them:
