If you are arriving by train, the reference station is Florence Santa Maria Novella (SMN), the city's main station and well connected with major Italian cities (Rome, Milan, Bologna, Venice).
From SMN station:

• On foot: about a 15-20 minute walk through the historic center (follow Via Panzani, Via de' Cerretani, Piazza del Duomo and Via dei Calzaiuoli).
• By bus: take ATAF lines 23, C1 or C3 to Piazza della Signoria or Lungarno Diaz.
• By cab: the ride takes about 10 minutes, with an average fare of €10-15.

By car

The historic center of Florence is an active limited traffic zone (ZTL) for much of the day. Entry by private car is not recommended.
If you arrive by car:

Park outside the ZTL, such as in the parking lots:

• Santa Maria Novella parking lot (Station Square);
• Porta al Prato parking lot.
• Parking Parterre (with the T1 tramway to the center);

From there, you can continue on foot or by cab, streetcar or bus to the Galleria.

Please note: If you are staying in a hotel in the center, check if they can register your license plate to allow you temporary entry into the ZTL.

By plane

The nearest airport is Florence Peretola “Amerigo Vespucci” (FLR), located about 8 km from the city center.
