Florence Travel Tips for 2026

Visa: US, UK, Canadian, and Australian citizens do not need a visa for short visits up to 90 days in Italy or the Schengen Area. Passports must be valid for at least three months beyond the date of planned departure. Official visa info is available from the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Local transport: Florence has no metro, but an efficient network of ATAF buses and trams covers the city. Single tickets cost €1.70 ($2) and are valid for 90 minutes. Tickets are available at tabacchi shops, newsstands, or via the TABNET app. Day passes (24 hours) are €5 ($5.40). Most major sights are walkable, but buses link outlying neighborhoods like Campo di Marte and Oltrarno.

Tipping: Tipping is not expected in Florence. Most restaurants include a “coperto” (cover charge) of €2 to €3 per person. Rounding up the bill or leaving small change is appreciated but not mandatory. For exceptional service, 5 to 10 percent is generous.

Currency: The euro (EUR, code: EUR) is Italy’s official currency.
