Getting to Florence by train
The city's main railway station is Firenze Santa Maria Novella (abbreviated as Firenze SMN). Situated in the city centre, it is conveniently close to the major tourist attractions as well as to the main exhibition and trade centers. The station area is also the principal node for buses serving the city and the surrounding area (see Moving around by bus).
The second most important station is Firenze Campo di Marte which is being used increasingly for national and international train services. The Campo di Marte train station is just outside the main road ring (boulevard) that surrounds the historical city center (the viali circonvalazione) and is next to the city's Artemio Franchi stadium, where Florence's soccer team, Fiorentina, plays its matches.
The Florence SMN train station is open from 4.15 a.m. to 1.30 a.m. For timetables and more information, visit www.trenitalia.it/
All of the main lines of the ATAF, the city's bus transportation system, stop at Firenze SMN; only bus lines 12 and 13 bus go to the Campo di Marte train station. There are, however, several other bus lines that go near the Campo di Marte station, including bus lines 6, 10, 20 and 33.
