Hotels near Florence Airport - FLR, Florence

beautiful city full of history, lovely churches, palaces, museums and art gallery's. Great time of year to visit late September as less hot and less crowds. We went for 3 nights and managed to cover all of the main sites. Flew to Bologna 40 mins on Train to Florence. very easy and cheap to navigate. Book your train seat in advance.

The place I stayed was great, the owner was so sweet that she was willing to give me a ride to the train station by my departure. The breakfasts that she made was very delicious and at the time I needed (for Tuscany tour i needed to leave at 6:30am instead of regular breakfast at 7:30am) she prepared it for me. Only some minus I would give to a distance from the train station to the property. But from other hand it was a good exercise:)

It’s a city packed with beautiful art & amazing history but also packed with so many people & cars/motorcyles that it was hard to get from place to place and difficult for my partner & I to enjoy in the September heat.

It's actually magic. It has the most unique identity, everywhere you go has its own little quirks. Every corner you turn you see something phenomenal. Best place I've ever been. I'll be going back there is so much left to do. The service was incredible, we were treated with so much care I couldn't think what I had done to deserve it. The art and culture is second to none. Everyone warned me that I'd miss out on the food as a vegan but I was spoilt for choice. I didn't even get to visit the (many!!!) vegan restaurants, then there are all of the veggie restaurants, then there are the normal (but amazing) Italian restaurants that cater well to vegans. I've never been anywhere with so many options, all of them were outstanding.

Florence is a beautiful place with so much to see and explore. Carefully plan your trip so you can see all the well know places or take a chance and wander to your hearts content. You will not be disappointed.

Florence is incredibly crowded with tourists trying to navigate the narrow streets and almost non-existent sidewalks, but there are lots of beautiful old buildings, plazas, and little shops and restaurants and ice cream shops. Highly recommend the cooking class at Rosso Crudo - informative and very entertaining. The lines to see Michelangelo's David are in the middle of a very sunny street, so be prepared.
