They reach any hotel in central Florence, even the narrowest alleys.
No €270 ZTL fee.

Ways to get from Florence to: Train, Bus
Getting from Florence to Rome by public transport is easy and affordable. The best option is the high‑speed train – either Trenitalia (Frecciarossa) or Italo. Trains depart frequently (every 15–30 minutes) from Florence Santa Maria Novella station and take just 1 hour 20 minutes to 1.5 hours. If you book in advance, tickets can start as low as €20.
A cheaper but slower alternative is the bus, for example FlixBus. The journey takes about 3.5 to 4 hours. Buses leave from several locations in Florence and usually arrive at Roma Tiburtina bus station, from where you need to take the metro or a taxi to reach the city centre.
