Why go on a Rome to Florence day trip

  • Quick & easy trip: A day is all you need to explore the must-see spots in Florence. If you’re facing time constraints, but still want to walk through the Piazza della Signoria or visit the Duomo of Florence, a day trip to Florence is the perfect solution!
  • See history preserved: To think of Florence is to think of art, specifically the art of the Renaissance. It makes you think of Michelangelo’s David or Da Vinci’s Annunciation. Step into Florence’s museums and soak in the beauty of one of history's most creatively vibrant times.
  • Magnificent views: You do not have to be an art or architecture enthusiast to appreciate the sights of Florence. The city can dazzle you from every angle, whether you’re gazing over it from atop Brunelleschi’s dome or marveling at it from the ground.
  • Tailored experiences: You can explore Florence at your own pace! If you prefer solo exploration, plan your route in advance so you can cover all the places you want to see. You’d rather be guided to key landmarks? Select an audio guide or ask your live commentator for suggestions on where to go.

Things to know before your Rome to Florence day trip

  • When booking your Rome to Florence day trip, we recommend booking a month in advance, especially during peak season (May to August) when slots fill up quickly. If you’re booking during the shoulder seasons (March to May & October to November), book 2 to 3 weeks in advance.
  • Florence is 275 km (170 miles) away from Rome. Your journey can last anywhere between 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on your mode of transport. So, bring some tunes for the road while you gaze out at the picturesque Tuscan countryside!
  • A Rome to Florence day trip can last anywhere between 10 to 14 hrs. So make sure you wear comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing and footwear.
  • If you plan on visiting cathedrals, churches, and other religious sites in Florence, check if they have a dress code. If you can’t find any information, it’s best to wear clothes that cover your knees and shoulders.
  • Opt for an audio guide if you’re unsure about which spots to visit on your Rome to Florence day trip. Audio guides are easy to access and can provide detailed insights about key points of interest in Florence.
  • Plan which restaurants you’d like to eat at in advance. During peak season, most places surrounding popular attractions can get crowded. So, make sure you reserve the table beforehand.
  • We also recommend you carry some snacks with you. While it’s relatively easy to find food in Florence, it is always prudent to pack some extra energy bars or juice boxes for the road and for when the sun gets a little too harsh.

Best time to take a Rome to Florence day trip

Florence has something to offer all year round. However, here are some factors for you to consider before booking your day trip.

High season vs. shoulder season: Florence is busy from May to August in the summer months. Tourists swarm the streets, and hotel rates soar. If you visit during spring (March to May) and late fall (October to November), you can explore the sights the city has to offer on an economical budget with thinner crowds.

Climate considerations: In the spring (March to May), Florentine weather oscillates between 16°C-24°C (61°F-75°F). Weather averages at about 29°C-30°C (84°F-86°F) during the summer months (May to August). Late fall in Florence can feel a bit dreary, with the weather dipping as low as 6°C (43°F).

Festivals: Between the months of May and October, Florentine locals step out to attend a range of music and art festivals. There are also Easter festivals and Harvest festivals celebrated along the Tuscan countryside. If you think you’d like to experience any of them, book your trip to coincide with a festival. No? You’d rather only see the museums and cathedrals of Florence? Then spring (March to May) and late fall (October to November) might be a better time for your trip.

Visitor tips for your Rome to Florence day trip

  • Pack light. You will spend close to 10 to 14 hours on this trip, and you do not want to be lugging around a heavy bag. So pack only your essentials and keep your hands free of baggage.
  • It is a long journey from Rome to Florence. While most buses and trains, and even restaurants in Florence have charging ports, we recommend you carry a fully-charged power bank with you.
  • This trip involves a lot of walking. So wear your best walking shoes for the day.
  • Carry a reusable water bottle with you, especially for when you’re traveling in the summer. Italian summers are hot, and your day trip will be long, so stay hydrated!
  • Look for a gelateria immediately after you arrive. With a gelato in your hand, you can easily brave the heat and crowds of Florence.
  • If you’re sensitive to bright light, we also recommend carrying a pair of sunglasses with you.
  • Sun protection is a must when traveling in Italy all year round. Avoid sunburn by wearing your best sunscreen, and also carry it with you on your trip.
  • Beware of pickpockets. Keep an eye on your phone, wallet, and keys, especially when you’re traveling during peak season.
