Getting there:

By Plane: Probably the best option is to fly to Firenze Airport and catch the tramway to the center (https://www.aeroporto.firenze.it/en/the-passengers/transport/tramway.html). There is also the nearby Pisa International Airport, located about 100 km away, and connected with Firenze through a bus and local trains.  

By train: Alternatively, you could fly to Roma or Milano and catch a high-speed train to Firenze (https://www.trenitalia.com/en.html.). The Firenze high-speed railway station (Santa Maria Novella) is right by the city center.  

By car: Probably the worst option. The historic center is relatively small, surprisingly chaotic and largely pedestrian-only.
