Questions & Answers about Traveling from Gubbio to Florence
Why should you visit Florence?
There are many reasons to visit Florence. Not only is the city unapologetically authentically Italian, but it is also incredibly walkable, culturally appetizing, and historically interesting. Love Renaissance art, contemporary design, or high fashion? Florence has it all!
What is the best way to travel from Gubbio to Florence?
The best way to travel from Gubbio to Florence is typically with a private door-to-door car service like Daytrip. If you travel with Daytrip, you can expect a comfortable, safe, time-efficient, affordable, and luxurious travel experience. Not only will you have access to a professional driver who knows the region, but you'll also get to travel the way you want to, making stops along the way.
Is Florence cheap or expensive?
Because of its popularity, Florence is one of the more expensive cities to visit in Italy. But there are a few tricks to keep costs down like going in the off-season when hotels and attractions lower their prices or getting a Firenze Card, which gives you access to over 70 museums and monuments around the city.
How many days do you need to spend in Florence?
You'll need about three days to visit only the city's main attractions and landmarks, but that’s a real “checklist” type of visit. Try for five days so you can have a more leisurely time perusing palaces filled with priceless, shopping for handcrafted leather goods, and feasting on the local cuisine.
What is the fastest way to get from Gubbio to Florence?
Surprise! A private car transfer with Daytrip is also the fastest way to get from Gubbio to Florence! Riding with Daytrip, you’ll cover the distance in just over two hours (without stopping for sightseeing). The bus and train take twice that at over 4 hours!
Which is better, Florence or Rome?
A tough question since they’re very different! Rome is filled with some of Italy’s finest and most famous artworks, museums, and ancient archaeological sites. But it’s very busy and spread out. Florence is much smaller, allowing you to reach its many masterpieces on foot.

About Florence
Florence is the capital of Italy's magnificent Tuscany region. Surrounded by gently rolling hills, villas, farmyards, and vineyards, everyone who visits Florence can attest to its intrinsic charm that amazes, seduces, and draws one in until they never want to leave.
Founded by the Romans in the 1st Century BCE, Florence quickly became one of the most wealthy cities, as evidenced by what is still standing hundreds of years later. A simple stroll through its streets and a quick look at its Renaissance-era architecture and monuments will show you why it used to be called "the Athens of the Middle Ages". And that wasn't even its peak! A few centuries later, Florence birthed the Renaissance, an era that bestowed the city with incomparable art and architecture, and earned its historic center recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
With so many marvels to explore, you can start at any spot in the city and walk around, tasting, touching, seeing, and enjoying.
From Gubbio to Florence: travel tips
Travel tips can be handy, especially when traveling from Gubbio to Florence. So, if you're planning a trip from one city to the next, you might want to keep the tips we've shared close to heart.
Make restaurant bookings in advance
In Italy, the restaurants get busy, with some of the more popular ones filling their seats days in advance. That is why it's important to secure a table a few days to weeks before you visit any of the towns, villages, or cities along the way that you plan on stopping in to grab a bite to eat.
However, note that there are a few exceptions, with certain restaurants serving customers on a 'first come, first serve' basis. In this case, if you know a restaurant will be busy, leave earlier—which you can do with Daytrip—to ensure you get there ahead of the crowds.
### Validate public transportation tickets
Public transportation isn't for the weak. Not only is traveling by bus or train from Gubbio to Florence often noisy, crowded, and uncomfortable, but it can also be a hassle. This is especially true if you must validate your bus or train ticket before beginning your journey. If you don't validate your tickets, you risk a hefty fine, which no one wants to deal with while traveling to Italy.
### Download maps in advance
When traveling from Gubbio to Florence, you might not have access to the Internet or a strong data connection, so it's a good idea to download maps or directions in advance. If you're traveling with Daytrip, there's not much need for this since our drivers can get you where you need to be, but it could be handy if you're driving yourself or using public transportation.
How to get from Gubbio to Florence
Getting from Gubbio to Florence isn't as difficult as it might seem. Below, we've shared your transportation options for getting from one city to the next.
From Gubbio to Florence by bus
One of the most popular ways to travel from Gubbio to Florence is by bus. The buses are often the cheapest way to travel, but they are by no means the most comfortable. Not only will the trip take about four hours, but you'll also need to contend with a potentially crowded coach, few amenities, and one or more transfers.
If you want to take the bus, you must travel with Busitalia and change to Flixbus in Perugia to get the rest of the way. These trips often cost between $20 and $60, but not many buses leave Gubbio for Florence daily, so you'll also be limited in the times you can travel.
### From Gubbio to Florence by train
Unfortunately, there is no direct train from Gubbio to Florence, and you cannot book a train ride from Gubbio. If you want to travel by train, you must take a bus from Gubbio to Perugia and then a train from Perugia to Florence.
Taking a bus and then a train can be a hassle and incredibly frustrating. Not to mention there are not too many trains daily and the trip can take four and a half hours with transfers. The trip can also be incredibly expensive, with the total price reaching upwards of $70.
### From Gubbio to Florence by private car transfer
Getting from Gubbio to Florence is uber easy if you drive with a private car service like Daytrip. Unlike public transportation, you can book your trip for exactly when you want to travel, get picked up at your accommodation in Gubbio, and add sightseeing stops along the way.
Besides being convenient and reliable, Daytrip is also affordable, with prices starting at 75 euros per person. You can also trust that the cars are luxurious and well maintained and if you travel directly your trip will only take about two hours and 10 minutes—much faster than the bus and train!
Things to do when you get to Florence
As “The Birthplace of the Renaissance”, Florence has many attractions worth visiting, so it's understandable that choosing what to see and do can be difficult. That's why we've shared a few of the best things to do in Florence if you're planning a trip from Gubbio to Florence anytime soon.
Walk the Ponte Vecchio
Undoubtedly, Ponte Vecchio, or the “Old Bridge” as the locals refer to it, is the most recognized symbol of Florence—besides Brunelleschi's beautiful dome that tops the Duomo. As one of Florence's main attractions, it's worth visiting, especially considering it's lined with pocket-sized jewelry shops that you'll want to explore to pick up a souvenir or two. You'll find this 14th-century bridge spanning the Arno River between Pitti Palace and Palazzo Vecchio.
### Pitti Palace
Surprise, surprise—Florence's largest museum complex is also a palace. The Pitti Palace, built in the 1400s, is a great spot to explore if you are interested in Florence's royal history. Up until the early 20th century, this palace was the official residence of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany.
### Florence Baptistery
You can't visit Florence without touring its oldest building—the Florence Baptistery of St. John. This iconic octagonally structured building dates back to ancient Rome, but what's interesting is that its bronze doors are believed to be from the 16th century. Lorenzo Ghiberti sculpted them, so it's unsurprising that they are magnificent to look at and understand why Michelangelo dubbed them the 'Gates of Paradise.'
When is the best time to visit Florence?
Florence frequently tops travel lists, so, unsurprisingly, millions flock to the city every year. Yet when should you drive from Gubbio to Florence?
Although the answer to this question will largely depend on your travel needs and desires, we recommend visiting this spectacular city in the spring or fall, from April to June or September to October.
If you want to experience the city while enjoying the best weather, April to June are not overly hot, and you'll enjoy the peculiar flowers across the Tuscan countryside. However, if you want lower accommodation pricing, fewer crowds, and chillier (but not overly cold) weather, September and October are definitely worth considering.

“I used this service for a transfer from Split in Croatia to Perast Montenegro. My experience was exceptional. My driver Bojan was helpful, informative and ensured my journey was comfortable and enjoyable. I highly recommend the service.”
“We were extremely satisfied with the quality of service we received from Day Trip. We had two Day Trip rides on August 31 from Athens to Lefkada and September 7 from Lefkada back to Athens. Both trips included stops at scenic sites in Greece. Both drivers were excellent and accommodating. However, we’d especially like to recognize Panos Peppas, who was our driver from Lefkada to Athens. Panos was incredibly nice & pleasant and delivered outstanding customer service, which included handling all of luggage, providing us with cold waters throughout the trip, providing us protein bars, providing us with printed materials on the Corinth Canal (one of scenic stops), looking up and providing us with terminal & gate info for our flight back home and providing us with a recipe for tzatziki.”

“We absolutely love this company and have used it many times over the years to get from A to B without the hassle of hiring a car ourselves. Excellent drivers every time. Efficient and professional. It’s worth every penny and we can honestly recommend Day Trip to everyone. It’s 5 star rating is well deserved.”
“We traveled from Nuremberg to Munich in a beautiful Audi. Driver picked us at our hotel at the exact time requested. Got us to Munich in plenty of time for our next tour. Driver made sure we were comfortable”
“Gonzalo from daytrip was our driver and he was absolutely amazing. He went over and beyond trying to locate us as our service wasn't so good on our phones. He patiently awaited our arrival to the lobby so he could take us from Tulum Dreams Resort to our other hotel in cancun an hour and a half away near the airport prior to our departure flight home. He was polite, respectful and kind. Made sure we were comfortable during our long ride. Fast and to the point. I recommend this company as finding a one way ride from Tulum to Cancun isn't easy or cheap and this company provides a great service for a great price. I will definitely be using them again whenever I'm in the Cancun/Tulum area. Thank you DayTrip and Gonzola.”
“We were picked up by Marianna to drive us from Heraklion to Chania. The weather was terrible & due to this Marianna arrived a few minutes late. She contacted me to advise of this. Marianna lives in Chana and she made our trip very interesting by informing us of local things to do and see in Chania. Marianna is a safe driver and we all felt comfortable with the speed she drove at and how good her driving was in heavy rain. She is a lovely person with fluent English. We highly recommend Daytrips and if you are in Heraklion or Chania please make sure you ask for Marianna.”
“Used the service to go from Luxor to Hurghada, Egypt. Ahmed H was our driver and he was perfect. The car was new, clean, he had water and snacks for us, and accommodated our stops. Great service from him and would recommend it.”
“Used Daytrip for two rides in Mexico, which were both great. So comfortable, and we arrived at each of our destinations at a great time. Both were incredible drivers, and we felt so safe. One of our drivers, Miguel, also played the best music! Will definitely use Daytrip on our next trip to Mexico.”
“We did not know what to expect with this trip and booked from Australia. We were initially looking for an easy way to travel from Granada to Malaga. We decided not to waste the opportunity to see something additional on our way. Miguel certainly exceeded our expectations. His English was excellent (unfortunately we speak very little Spanish), and he was very friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the regions as we passed through and also discussing some of the local ways. Miguel took us to Antequera as planned and ensured we were able to easily get our tickets to the attractions without any sense of rushing us. We were picked up and dropped off punctually and really enjoyed our trip. Hopefully we will return to Spain and we can use this service again sometime.”
“We used the service twice while in Thailand. Extremely prompt and efficient customer service. Best rate being offered in Chiang Mai for the travels. Polite, punctual, professional and English speaking drivers. Clean, comfortable vehicles. Being a regular visitor to Thailand, this was hands down the best service. Most pleased with the company. I hope it sustains the excellence of service that was rendered to us.”
