Taxis in Florence

Taxis are a useful point-to-point option in Florence, especially with luggage, but they are generally arranged by phone or found at designated stands.

Taxis in Florence

Why go

Use a taxi when walking or public transport is impractical, particularly for a station transfer or a late return. Florence is not a city where hailing a cab from the kerb is dependable. Santa Maria Novella station and major squares have taxi stands, so a planned pickup is more realistic than waiting on a side street.

Useful to know

  • Ask your hotel or restaurant to arrange a taxi when you need a pickup away from a stand.
  • Look for a taxi stand at Santa Maria Novella station or in major squares rather than expecting to hail one.
  • Confirm the current fare and payment options with the driver or dispatcher before travel.
