Florence’s small city airport is connected to the centre by the T2 tram line, the cheapest and most reliable way into town. Whether you’re going straight to your hotel or arrived too early to check in, here is how to get from the plane to the city, and from the city back to the plane, with as little luggage hassle as possible.

Arriving at Pisa airport instead?

Is there luggage storage at Florence airport?
Check with the airport for current services. If you want to visit the city before checking in, storing your bags in the centre near the station is usually more practical, since you’ll pass by it anyway.
