Money tips for Florence, Italy

  • Fair taxi price (official, daytime): €25 - €35. Use the official taxi rank outside arrivals and confirm the meter is on. Refuse unlicensed drivers who approach inside the terminal. Fixed or metered daytime fare to the centre is roughly 25 to 35 euros.
  • Best alternative: ATAF bus line 28 or the Volainbus airport shuttle to Santa Maria Novella station (€6)
  • Buy a ticket before boarding and validate it in the machine on the bus or at the tram stop. An un-stamped or un-validated ticket is treated as invalid. Many tourists forget to validate. Fine without a valid ticket: €60.
  • Service is usually included in the bill. A small tip of a few euros is appreciated in restaurants, and rounding up for taxis is fine. Tipping is not expected or required.
  • Cover charge (coperto) and bread/service charges are legal and usually shown on the menu or bill. Check the menu lists prices before ordering, and confirm any per-person cover fee. Beware of pricier tourist menus without listed prices.
  • Always choose to be charged in euros and decline dynamic currency conversion offered at the terminal. Prefer ATMs attached to banks. Some independent high-fee ATMs charge heavy withdrawal fees, so review charges before confirming.
