Florence is generally safe for tourists and moderately foreigner-friendly, though pickpocketing and street distractions are common near the main sights and station. The key watchouts are overcharging by unlicensed drivers, restaurant cover charges, and souvenir sellers pushing fake goods. Violent crime is low; the main risks are theft and petty scams rather than safety of person.

Florence Airport Peretola (FLR)
Δίκαιη τιμή ταξί (επίσημη, ημερήσια): 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.
Καλύτερη εναλλακτική: ATAF bus line 28 or the Volainbus airport shuttle to Santa Maria Novella station (6 €, περίπου 30 λεπτά)
Φιλοδώρημα: 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.
Χρεώσεις κάλυψης και εξυπηρέτησης: 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.
