Florence Airport Hotels

From: Florence

ABOVE: From the breakfast room of the Hotel Atlantic Palace, it's only a short walk to the Florence Airport bus or the hourly train to Pisa International Airport.

Florence's Aeroporto di Firenze (FLR) is only 4 km or about 2-1/2 miles from the city center. The "Volainbus" service connects the airport with the SITA terminal next to Florence's main railroad station throughout the day. Allow 25 minutes for the bus ride, or 15 minutes if you travel by taxi.

Because the Florence airport is so close to the city, there's no need to stay at an airport hotel. Instead, you can book a room at any hotel in the city center.

Choose a hotel close to the SITA terminal and the Santa Maria Novella station if you have an early flight and want to save time in getting a taxi or the airport bus. This is easy to do with the Florence hotel map of our Italian booking partner. Just click "Santa Maria Novella," then select from hotels, B&Bs, and apartments in the area.

If you're driving, or if you simply want to be closer to the airport, the four-star Hotel Airport is worth considering. (Click here for comments by guests who have stayed at the hotel.) The four-star Hotel Nord Florence is another possibility. You can easily reach the city center by public bus from either hotel.

Pisa arrivals and departures

Many visitors to Florence use the Galileo Galilei Airport in Pisa (PSA), which is larger and busier than Florence's airport. PSA is only 1.5 km or 1 mile from Pisa's city center, making it easy to reach by local bus or taxi. The Hotel Jolly Cavalieri, opposite Pisa's central railroad station, is a good choice if you have an early departure from Galileo Galilei and want to spend the night in Pisa.

Use the timetable at Trenitalia to find trains between Florence Santa Maria Novella (Fl. SMN) and Pisa Centrale (Pisa C) or Pisa Aeroporto (Pisa AE). Allow one to two hours for the journey.
