Florence Airport is not a major hub and does not handle flights around the clock. Most flights land between 07:00 and 23:00, with the last arrivals typically touching down by 22:30. True late-night arrivals are uncommon, but evening flights are frequent.
Evening transport options
| Option | Last service | Night price (EUR) | Notes | |--------|-------------|------------------|-------| | T2 Tram | ~00:30 (last departure from airport) | 1.70 | Covers most late flights | | Taxi | 24/7 | 25–30 (fixed night rate) | Available at the rank | | Pre-booked transfer | 24/7 | 35–55 (no surcharge) | Driver waits regardless | | Bus shuttle | ~23:00 | 6.00 | Limited late service |
The tram covers most late arrivals
The T2 tram runs until approximately 00:30 from the airport, which means it covers virtually every flight that lands at FLR. Even if your flight arrives at 22:30, you will clear baggage by 23:00 and still have time to catch the tram.
The tram runs less frequently after 21:00 — roughly every 12–15 minutes instead of every 5–8 — so check the posted schedule at the stop.
Night taxi rates
The official fixed fare from FLR to Florence center increases at night (generally after 22:00), on Sundays, and on public holidays to approximately EUR 25–30, compared to the daytime rate of EUR 22–25. The surcharge is modest — about EUR 3–5 extra.
Taxis are available at the rank outside arrivals for all scheduled flights. For the last flights of the evening, there are usually enough taxis, but the queue may be smaller.
When a pre-booked transfer helps
If your flight is one of the last of the day and you want zero uncertainty, a pre-booked transfer guarantees a driver is waiting. This matters most when:
- Your flight is delayed and might land after the last tram
- You are heading to a hotel deep in the ZTL where finding the entrance at night is tricky
- You are going to a Tuscan destination outside Florence (Chianti, Siena) — you do not want to figure out rural roads in the dark
The airport at night
FLR is a small airport that empties quickly after the last flights. There are no overnight sleeping facilities. If your flight is delayed significantly, food and drink options will be very limited. The terminal is safe and has seating, but it is not designed for extended stays.
