Florence is not only about art and tourism: it’s also one of Italy’s most dynamic cities for meetings, events, and business trips. Its strategic position, right in the heart of Tuscany, makes it a key hub for professionals and companies moving between Milan, Rome, and central Italy.
But how can you organize a business trip to Florence efficiently? And above all, where should you stay to combine convenience and comfort?
Getting around Florence during a business trip
- By train: Santa Maria Novella Station connects Florence with Milan and Rome in less than two hours.
- By plane: Florence’s Peretola Airport is about 15 minutes from the city center and offers direct flights to major European cities.
- By tram: Line T2 connects the airport to the city center in about 20 minutes.
- By taxi or on foot: Most business offices and conference centers are easily reachable thanks to the city’s compact historic center.
Florence’s historic center is both compact and well connected. From Santa Maria Novella Station, the city’s main transport hub, most business venues and congress centers can be reached on foot or with a short taxi ride.
For those arriving by plane, the Florence Peretola Airport is just 15 minutes from the city and provides direct links to major European destinations. For getting around town, the tram and taxis are the most practical and time-efficient options.
