Airport Facts

Information Desk
The information desk (arrival terminal) is open from 7.30 am to 11.30 pm providing tourist information (tel.055.315874) and real time information on flight arrivals and departures (tel. 055.3061300) as well as information on lost baggage (tel.055.30061302).

Lost & Found
This office, which utilizes the Worldtracer-Bahamas automated baggage finding system, operates on behalf of the airlines, offering passengers many different services.

The lost&found office is located in the back of the arrivals terminal with access from the main hall and from inside the baggage pick-up area (accessible only to arriving passengers).

The realization of the new office and the consequent improvement in passenger service has been made possible through the restructuring of the arrivals area, which has resulted in an increment of nearly 30% in the waiting rooms, an enlargement of 103% in the lost baggage office, an enlargement of 67% in the baggage pick-up area and an extension of 29% in the baggage conveyor belts.

Located four kilometers from the center of Florence, the "Amerigo Vespucci" Airport occupies an area of approximately 115 hectares between Castello and the Plain of Sesto Fiorentino. The area, to the north-west of Florence, lies between the "Firenze Nord" exit from the superhighway and Florence's industrial area near Prato.

The airport can be reached from the center of Florence, driving the whole length of Viale Guidoni up to the road leading to the "Firenze Nord/Firenze Mare" superhighway (A1 and A11). The airport also has good connections to the center of the city, which can be reached in about fifteen minutes by taxi, and about twenty minutes by the Sita/Ataf service "Fly by Bus" between the airport and Santa Maria Novella railway station.
