Location

Florence, Italy

Florence Airport, officially named Amerigo Vespucci Airport after the famous Florentine explorer, is the primary commercial airport serving Florence and the broader Tuscany region. Located in the Peretola district about 5 kilometres northwest of the city centre, it handles millions of passengers annually and connects Tuscany to major European destinations. The airport has historically been constrained by its short runway and surrounding urban and geographical obstacles, limiting its capacity for long-haul and wide-body operations. A significant expansion and modernisation project, including a new longer runway and terminal, has been in development for years amid environmental and logistical debates. Despite its limitations, Florence Airport remains a vital transport hub for tourists and business travellers visiting one of Italy's most culturally significant cities. It operates alongside Pisa's Galileo Galilei Airport, which also serves the Tuscany region.

Terminals

The airport operates a single passenger terminal handling both domestic and international flights.

Getting to & from

The airport is served by the Florence tramway system (T2 line), which connects directly to Santa Maria Novella railway station in the city centre.
