Trains from Milan to Florence

About the Milan to Florence train

From Milano Centrale, the monumental station to the north-east of the centre, trains for Florence depart, and the metro runs there from the Duomo. Give the search a day and a party size and it returns what runs then; the return leg from Florence is covered as well, booked through its own search. Santa Maria Novella is the arrival, at the western edge of the old centre of Florence. From the forecourt you can walk to the cathedral, the Uffizi and the Ponte Vecchio across the Arno without needing a bus. The city is compact and largely closed to cars in the centre, which makes a central hotel the practical choice and a suitcase on wheels the easiest way to arrive. A selection of Florence hotels sits on this page; the search shows the catalogue in full. Stay near the station for a short stay or an early train onwards, or across the river in the Oltrarno if you want a quieter street and a walk to the sights.
