How to reach the seminar venue

• From Florence airport (approximately 1 hour by public transportation, 25/30 minutes by taxi).

Florence airport is located 8 km from the city centre.

Taxis can be found outside the arrival terminal and no reservation is needed: the cost of a 25/30 minute ride is approximately € 30.

As a general note, it is also possible to request a taxi by calling one of the following numbers: (+39) 055 4390 / 4499 / 4242 / 4798 or using the app itTaxi. Kindly note that in Italy taxis cannot be flagged down as they pass you along the street. Taxis are instead “stationed” at special taxi parking stands in most of the major squares in any city and at the airport. Please refer to this website for an overview of the taxi fees from/to the airport. Please also note that Uber and Bolt are not available in Florence.

If you wish to reach the course venue from the airport with public transportation, the tramway ride is a convenient option to head to the city centre: tramways have a dedicated airport stop and you should get off at the last stop, “T2-Unità”. From there, please refer to the paragraph below (“From the main railway station”). Tramway tickets cost €1.70 and can be purchased at the vending machines outside the airport: they last 90 minutes and can be used both on tramway and buses.

• From the main railway station (approximately 40 minutes)

Reach the bus stop “Stazione Nazionale”; take bus n.7, direction “Fiesole Piazza Mino”; get off at the bus stop “Di San Domenico 01”; and walk downhill to Villa Schifanoia on Via Boccaccio.

Bus and tram tickets may be purchased digitally by sending a text message with “Firenze” as text to 488.01.05 or by using the Tabnet APP which you can get from the App Store or Google Play. Tickets can also be purchased from official ticket offices, machines and authorized retailers that display the ‘Autolinee Toscane’ sticker.
