From Florence airport - either take a taxi directly to Gianna's or take the local bus n° 55 to the SITA bus station behind the railway station. Turn left out of the bus station and cross over Via Alamanni and up the steps into the railway station. Journey takes b/w 15 and 25 minutes depending on traffic.
From Pisa airport - catch a train directly from the airport or, exiting the airport building from the door opposite the arrivals gate, catch the local bus to Pisa railway station (Pisa Centrale) and then take a train for Florence. Bus tickets can be bought from the shop selling newspapers and cigarettes (identifiable by the T sign) near the departure lounge.
From Firenze SMN railway station - either catch a taxi, walk or catch a bus.
Directions for walking: With your back to the train tracks, turn left out of the station. Cross the two parallel roads and then turn right. Turn left at the corner (Largo Alinari which becomes Via Nazionale). Turn right into Via Guelfa at the first set of traffic lights you come to (usually either flashing yellow or turned off) and then the second street on your left is Via S. Reparata. Cross over Via XXVII Aprile and Gianna's B & B is at number 69 on the left-hand side.
Bus - Take a 7, 10, 31, 32 or a 33 from the station (the stops are along the inner road that one crosses when leaving the station). At present the 7, 10, 31 and 32 go down Via Panzani, then pass the Baptistry and turn left into Via Cavour and then right into Piazza San Marco where you get off. To reach Gianna's you walk down Via degli Arazzieri (looking at the church you exit the Piazza on the left) and Via S. Reparata is the second street on your right. Bus 33 comes via the Fortress and you get off at the fourth stop called XXVII Aprile. Via S. Reparata is the first street on your left.
From Firenze di Campo Marte station - either catch a taxi or bus number 12 or 33; get off the 12 at the first stop in Via S. Caterina d'Alessandria and take the first street on your left (Via delle Ruote). Gianna's B & B is in the second street on the right. Get off the 33 at stop 31 (the second stop in Via Cavour - Via Cavour being the street the bus goes down after curcum-navigating Piazza Libertà (easily identifiable because all the buildings are painted a pink-red and have porticoes) and turn right into Via Salvestrina: Via S. Reparata is the second street on your left.
By car:
- from the south - exit the A1 motorway at FIRENZE SUD and, at the end of the road linking the motorway to the urban road network (slow down at the flashing lights), turn LEFT. Stay on this road, the "Lungarno", so called because it runs next to the Arno river, until it curves right and becomes the ring-road which runs around the city centre (the Viali). Keep to the Viali (you will pass a city gate standing in splendid isolation and the English cemetery) until you get to Piazza Libertà (easily recognizable because the buildings are all the same pinkish hue and all have porticoes). Go around a little less than half the piazza and exit down Via Lorenzo Magnifico. Turn left at the lights. At the next set of lights (about 80 metres further down) you have to cross the Viale and then turn right into Via Santa Caterina d'Alessandria. Then take the first street on the left (Via delle Ruote) and Via S. Reparata is the second on your right.
- from the north - exit the A1 motorway at FIRENZE NORD and follow the signs for "Firenze centro". Once on the Viali try to keep to the right if possible, especially after passing under the railway bridge, so you can enter Viale Spartaco Lavagnini with nerves relatively intact. Turn right into Via Caterina d'Alessandria just before the traffic lights. |
