About Travel to Florence
Florence is easily reached by train from Rome, Milan, or Venice, or via Florence or Pisa airport. The historic centre is compact and walkable. April–May and September–October are ideal—summer can be very hot and crowded. Book the Uffizi, Accademia (for David), and Duomo complex in advance. Reserve popular restaurants for dinner. Use Florence as a base for day trips to Siena, San Gimignano, or the Chianti region. Leave time for long meals, gelato, and wandering the Oltrarno and market streets.
