Hotels in Florence, Italy

Florence is a very walkable city, and many visitors prefer traveling by foot; however, Florence does have the ATAF and the GEST, which provide bus and tram services, respectively. To have virtually immediate access to these avenues of transportation, we recommend that you search for cheap hotels in Florence in the Quartiere 1 "Centro Storico" (District 1), such as the Hotel Pitti Palace Al Ponte Vecchio, located along bus routes C3 and C4 near the Borgo San Iacopo bus stop. If you’re looking for personal transportation, you can hire a taxi.

With the most noteworthy attractions located in the historic city center, we recommend that you book hotels in Florence in District 1 to the north of the Arno River. This is the area to visit to explore the many museums and historic sites of interest. Make your stay a walkable one by booking a room at the Guest House Bel Duomo, which is near the Cerretani bus stop. For a romantic and luxurious vacation with your significant other, we recommend accommodations in District 1 but on or near the river, such as the Leone Blu Suites UNA Esperienze, which sits close to several ATAF bus stops, such as the 6 and 11.

People travel from all around the world to visit the extensive art collections in the numerous museums around the city, and to enjoy its rich history and the architecture. While in Florence, we recommend going north of the Arno River in District 1 to visit Galleria dell'Accademia, where Michelangelo’s David of Florence statue stands. To get here, take a bus to the Piazza Di San Marco bus stop or a tram to the Arazzieri stop. Another idea is to stay at the nearby Homedo Bed & Breakfast, located along the C1 bus route. Also, if you search the northern side of District 1, you can book hotels in Florence that’ll situate you between the Ponte Vecchio—the famous medieval pedestrian bridge—and the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella, the 15th-century Dominican church decorated with stunning frescos. Consider the Golden Tower Hotel & Spa. From here, you can explore elsewhere in the city by taking the ATAF bus line C2 from Piazza Della Repubblica.

The heart of District 1 is full of restaurants and bars. Book one of the Florence hotels in this area, like the Il Gattopardo or the Davanzati along bus route C2. From this area, you can step out of your hotel’s front door to restaurants serving traditional Italian dishes, like Ristorante Oliviero 1962. For good cocktails, we recommend La Petite near the Porta Rossa bus stop—this establishment serves original cocktails and a few dishes. Another restaurant you may want to try is I'Margaritaio Cantina Messicana, a Tex-Mex gastropub that plays live music; it’s conveniently located near the Ghibellina Bargello bus stop.

Head to Florence toward the end of June for a unique sporting experience: the Calcio Storico Fiorentino. Traditionally held at the Piazza Santa Croce, the sport combines football, wrestling, and a variety of athletic skills—and it can only be played by athletes born in the four teams’ respective territories. Stay at the nearby Hotel La Casa di Morfeo along the C1, C3, and 23 bus routes; from here, you’ll be within walking distance to the sporting venue. Each year between the months of April and June, visitors come to Florence for the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, a festival that showcases opera, classical music, and ballet in venues across the city. Tickets must be purchased for the event. Since the activities take place at different locations, we recommend choosing a cheap hotel in Florence near the center of District 1. The Benivieni Hotel is a good option that’s right beside the Studio bus stop on the C1 route.
