Your go-to guide for getting around

While we always recommend walking around (the joy of the city is the time spent strolling the streets and seeing what you find), the heat and tired legs from hours spent admiring art may see you seeking
alternatives.

Buses and trams

Autolinee Toscane is the Tuscan bus service that runs both urban and rural transport in the region. One of the most frequently asked questions is how to get bus tickets in Florence, and more importantly, what to do with them once you do. Many times an unsuspecting new arrival has hopped on a bus, confident in their ticket purchase, only not to stamp it and be faced with a fine. Key info: Place your ticket in the little yellow machine on board, wait for the satisfying ffreeep and you’re good to go! Once stamped, your ticket lasts 90 minutes in Florence, 70 minutes elsewhere in Tuscany, with as many trips as you like in that time (no need to re-stamp). Since March 2024, you can also purchase your ticket by card, with the contactless ‘tip and tap’ system active on buses and trams at no additional cost, using credit, debit, prepaid cards, smartphones and wearables enabled by Mastercard, Visa and American Express.

Cycling in the city

Florence is mainly flat, making it ideal for pedalling around. If you don’t have your own bike, sharing systems are an option. You can download the RideMovi app and look for the nearest available bike or ebike on the map. Scan the QR code, and off you go! The app tracks your total kilometers and route. Having left your bike somewhere responsible (nobody appreciates having to step around a bike in the middle of a footpath), make sure to lock it and end your trip on the app so the next person to take to the pedals is all set! The Firenze in bici (Florence by bike) map available at infopoints is a useful guide to the city’s cycle paths, cycle-pedestrian areas and river routes.

Pedala, Firenze ti premia is an initiative by the Comune di Firenze to encourage residents to cycle around the city. The incentive-based scheme provides monthly rewards for people who bike the most using a dedicated app and the Pin Bike kit, in operation until November 2, 2025.

Holders of a bus pass can take advantage of the bike sharing service for free until December 31, an initiative promoted by the Municipality of Florence in collaboration with RideMovi and Autolinee Toscane.

Electric scooters and car sharing

Bit Mobility (Bird) rent electric scooters and car sharing is offered by Enjoy, giving you options if you’re in Florence without your own wheels.
