About Florence
Florence is located on the banks of the Arno, close to the Tyrrhenian Seas, in the northern part of central Italy. It is one of the most visited cities in Europe and is well known for its impeccable food, crafts, art, culture, history, and architecture. Since it lies on the main national railway line, it is easy to reach from most cities in Italy and abroad.
According to historical accounts, Florence was founded as a colony by the Romans in the first century BCE. But it reached its cultural zenith between the 11th and 15th centuries. During this time, the city prospered, with a balance of authority between the Pope and the Emperor. However, the 15th and 16th centuries saw the most growth under the rule of the Medici family, with the city spawning incredible art and culture during this time. There's a reason Florence is known as the "Birthplace of the Renaissance".
Florence has taken its role as one of the most important centers for arts and culture seriously ever since. That is why numerous travelers flock to Florence throughout the year to get a taste of what this city has to offer. And we can't blame them with displays like the magnificent Duomo Cathedral, Chianti vineyards, and bustling markets. So hop in a Daytrip luxury vehicle and make your way from Alba to Florence today!
From Alba to Florence: travel tips
No matter how you look at it, visiting Florence is a dream come true for most globetrotters making their way across Europe. When you drive from Alba to Florence, be prepared to be entirely captured by the city's unique charm.
After all, Florence is not just another Italian city; you'll feel transported back in time when you walk through the cobblestone streets, admiring the towering, domed Duomo Cathedral and listening to faint accordion music on the wind. However, be sure to keep a few of the below travel tips in mind to ensure you have the trip of your dreams and not nightmares.
### Practice Patience
If you're not a native of Italy, you're likely used to living life at a faster pace, so it might shock you to be immersed in a slower culture than you might have expected. That's why it's crucial to practice patience when traveling from Alba to Florence and around the city when you get there. Patience will go a long way in ensuring your travel experience is enjoyable.
### Purchase museum tickets in advance
Let's face it: Italy has some of the best museums in the world. So when traveling by private car service Daytrip or with a bus or train, be sure to capitalize on as many museum visits as you can cram into your travel schedule.
Just buy tickets in advance. You don't want to wait in line in the blistering heat as the Tuscan sun beams down on you.
### Don't overschedule your trip
It can be tempting to try and fit in as much as possible while traveling from Alba to Florence, but the reality is that you won't get to see and do everything there. So, before you visit, have a look at what you want to do most in beautiful Florence and along the way. If you're still unsure after doing your travel homework, you can ask your Daytrip driver for a few recommendations.
How to get from Alba to Florence
Getting from Alba to Florence can be somewhat challenging. If you're unsure how to travel, have a look at our breakdown of all three transportation options below:
### Alba to Florence by train
First things first: if you plan on taking the train, you need to know that it will likely take more than five hours to get from Alba to Florence. Next, you need to know that tickets can cost between $41 and $121 one way, depending on the train carrier you choose and when you travel.
You won't have many choices when it comes to train lines. Trenitalia is the most popular, so be prepared for one to two transfers, with most trains stopping in Turin.
But don't get too excited as you won't get to sightsee during these stops (unless you buy separate tickets). You can also take a train to Turin or Genoa and then fly to Florence, but this is often more of a hassle than it's worth, with lengthy travel timeframes and expensive ticket costs.
### Alba to Florence by bus
ASP, Coas Consorzio Astigiano, and Gruppo Di Maio offer daily and weekly bus trips from Alba to Florence. The price of a ticket with these bus lines varies, but on average, you should budget between $30 and $45.
This means that bus travel is the cheapest way to get from one city to the next. However, the downside is that you will encounter transfers, often crowded cabins, and long trip timesâthe average bus trip takes more than seven hours.
### Alba to Florence by Daytrip private car transfer
The trip from Alba to Florence is incredibly scenic, especially when you travel along the coast for part of the journey. Unfortunately, if you drive yourself, you'll find it difficult to enjoy yourself since you'll need to navigate the foreign roads and traffic. That's why booking a private car trip with Daytrip is the best way to travel.
Not only will you not have to worry about road signs and traffic, but you'll also get to sit back and relax while enjoying the passing scenery. You'll also get to pick your professional English-speaking driver's brain for local insights and travel tips to help make your Florence adventure even better! Or if you want a truly unforgettable experience, stop for sightseeing along the way.
Daytrip rides start at 138 euros per person, and the trip takes about four hours and 10 minutesâmuch faster than the train and bus and far more comfortable.
Things to do when you get to Florence
As the birthplace of Renaissance, it's unsurprising that Florence has much to offer visitors. From breathtaking artworks, unimaginable architecture, intriguing museums, delicious cuisine, and a rich history to captivating culture, traditions, and landscapes, there is something for everyone in this slice of heaven. To learn more about the best things to do when you drive from Alba to Florence, look at the information below.
### The Accademia
The Academia or Galleria dell'Accademia di Firenze, as the locals know it, might not get as much attention as the Uffizi Gallery. Still, this small art museum is worth the trip. It might have a very small collection of works, but these masterpieces are some of the best in the world, like the main focal piece, 'David' â the infamous sculpture by Michelangelo.
Besides getting to glimpse the 'David,' you'll also get to see four unfinished statues by this master sculpture alongside other pieces by artists like Sandro Botticelli. However, tickets can be difficult to get, so book as soon as possible.
### Ponte Vecchio
Florence might be best known for its Renaissance-style buildings, but it's also worth visiting to glimpse the medieval past. If this time period interests you, you'll certainly want to visit Ponte Vecchio, one of the best examples of a well-preserved Medieval bridge. It is wholly constructed from stone and has huge stone archways that you can admire while you browse the numerous unique shops that line the bridge.
### Mercato Centrale
If you want to visit a market when touring Venice, you should consider visiting Mercato Centrale. If you want to buy local produce, including meat, flowers, beeswax, wine, and food, this market is the place to be. Interestingly, the bottom half of the market has traditional Italian-style vendors, while the upstairs houses the more modern shops, with more food shops than anything else, so be sure to visit on an empty stomach.
When is the best time to visit Florence?
Usually, the best time to visit Florence is in the spring or fall. But anytime between May and September, you can look forward to pleasant weather, open-air dining, art and music festivals, and a lively atmosphere.
July and August tend to be expensive in terms of accommodation, attraction fees, and transportation, not to mention larger crowds. So we usually recommend the shoulder season, when the weather isn't as hot, the city's less crowded, and the prices are lower.
If you want to save some money and not have to deal with large crowds, you can travel to Florence from Alba during the late fall or winter. The weather isn't as nice, but the lower prices make up for it. Plus, if you spend most of your time in the museums, the weather outside doesn't matter much anyways.

âJag anvĂ€nde denna tjĂ€nst för en transfer frĂ„n Split i Kroatien till Perast i Montenegro. Min upplevelse var exceptionell. Min chaufför Bojan var hjĂ€lpsam, informativ och sĂ„g till att min resa var bekvĂ€m och trevlig. Jag rekommenderar starkt denna tjĂ€nst.â
âVi var mycket nöjda med kvaliteten pĂ„ den service vi fick frĂ„n Day Trip. Vi hade tvĂ„ resor med Day Trip: den 31 augusti frĂ„n Aten till Lefkada och den 7 september frĂ„n Lefkada tillbaka till Aten. BĂ„da resorna inkluderade stopp vid natursköna platser i Grekland. BĂ„da förarna var utmĂ€rkta och tillmötesgĂ„ende. Vi vill dock sĂ€rskilt uppmĂ€rksamma Panos Peppas, som var vĂ„r förare frĂ„n Lefkada till Aten. Panos var otroligt trevlig och behaglig och levererade enastĂ„ende kundservice, som inkluderade att han tog hand om allt vĂ„rt bagage, gav oss kallt vatten under hela resan, försĂ„g oss med proteinbars, gav oss tryckt material om Korintkanalen (ett av de natursköna stoppen), tog reda pĂ„ och gav oss terminal- och gateinformation för vĂ„rt flyg hem, samt gav oss ett recept pĂ„ tzatziki.â

âVi Ă€lskar verkligen det hĂ€r företaget och har anvĂ€nt det mĂ„nga gĂ„nger genom Ă„ren för att ta oss frĂ„n A till B utan krĂ„nglet med att hyra bil sjĂ€lva. UtmĂ€rkta chaufförer varje gĂ„ng. Effektiva och professionella. Det Ă€r vĂ€rt varenda krona, och vi rekommenderar Ă€rligt Day Trip till alla. Deras femstjĂ€rniga betyg Ă€r vĂ€lförtjĂ€nt.â
âVi reste frĂ„n NĂŒrnberg till MĂŒnchen i en vacker Audi. Chauffören hĂ€mtade oss pĂ„ vĂ„rt hotell exakt vid den begĂ€rda tiden. Han fick oss till MĂŒnchen i god tid för vĂ„r nĂ€sta tur. Chauffören sĂ„g till att vi hade det bekvĂ€mt.â
âGonzalo frĂ„n Daytrip var vĂ„r chaufför och han var helt fantastisk. Han gjorde allt för att hitta oss eftersom vĂ„r mobiltĂ€ckning var dĂ„lig. Han vĂ€ntade tĂ„lmodigt i lobbyn tills vi kom, sĂ„ att han kunde köra oss frĂ„n Tulum Dreams Resort till vĂ„rt andra hotell i CancĂșn, en och en halv timme bort nĂ€ra flygplatsen inför vĂ„r hemresa. Han var artig, respektfull och vĂ€nlig. Han sĂ„g till att vi hade det bekvĂ€mt under hela resan. Snabb och effektiv. Jag rekommenderar detta företag eftersom det inte Ă€r lĂ€tt eller billigt att hitta en enkelresa frĂ„n Tulum till CancĂșn, och detta företag erbjuder en utmĂ€rkt tjĂ€nst till ett bra pris. Jag kommer definitivt att anvĂ€nda dem igen nĂ€r jag Ă€r i omrĂ„det CancĂșn/Tulum. Tack DayTrip och Gonzalo.â
âMarianna hĂ€mtade oss för att köra oss frĂ„n Heraklion till Chania. VĂ€dret var hemskt, och pĂ„ grund av detta kom Marianna nĂ„gra minuter sent. Hon kontaktade mig för att meddela det. Marianna bor i Chania och gjorde resan vĂ€ldigt intressant genom att berĂ€tta om lokala sevĂ€rdheter och saker att göra i Chania. Marianna Ă€r en sĂ€ker förare och vi kĂ€nde oss alla trygga med bĂ„de hastigheten och hur bra hon körde i det kraftiga regnet. Hon Ă€r en underbar person och talar flytande engelska. Vi rekommenderar verkligen Daytrip, och om du Ă€r i Heraklion eller Chania, se till att frĂ„ga efter Marianna.â
âJag anvĂ€nde tjĂ€nsten för att Ă„ka frĂ„n Luxor till Hurghada, Egypten. Ahmed H var vĂ„r chaufför och han var perfekt. Bilen var ny, ren, han hade vatten och snacks för oss och anpassade sig efter vĂ„ra stopp. Fantastisk service frĂ„n honom, jag rekommenderar det varmt.â
âVi anvĂ€nde Daytrip för tvĂ„ resor i Mexiko, och bĂ„da var fantastiska. SĂ„ bekvĂ€mt, och vi anlĂ€nde till varje destination i perfekt tid. BĂ„da förarna var otroliga, och vi kĂ€nde oss vĂ€ldigt trygga. En av vĂ„ra förare, Miguel, spelade dessutom den bĂ€sta musiken! Vi kommer definitivt att anvĂ€nda Daytrip pĂ„ vĂ„r nĂ€sta resa till Mexiko.â

âVi visste inte vad vi skulle förvĂ€nta oss av denna resa och bokade frĂ„n Australien. Vi letade frĂ„n början efter ett enkelt sĂ€tt att resa frĂ„n Granada till Malaga. Vi bestĂ€mde oss för att inte missa möjligheten att se nĂ„got extra pĂ„ vĂ€gen. Miguel övertrĂ€ffade verkligen vĂ„ra förvĂ€ntningar. Hans engelska var utmĂ€rkt (tyvĂ€rr talar vi mycket lite spanska), och han var mycket vĂ€nlig och hjĂ€lpsam. Vi njöt verkligen av att höra om regionerna nĂ€r vi passerade genom dem och Ă€ven att diskutera nĂ„gra av de lokala sĂ€tten. Miguel tog oss till Antequera som planerat och sĂ„g till att vi enkelt kunde fĂ„ vĂ„ra biljetter till attraktionerna utan nĂ„gon brĂ„dska. Vi blev upphĂ€mtade och avlĂ€mnade punktligt och njöt verkligen av vĂ„r resa. Förhoppningsvis kommer vi att Ă„tervĂ€nda till Spanien och vi kan anvĂ€nda denna tjĂ€nst igen nĂ„gon gĂ„ng.â
âVi anvĂ€nde tjĂ€nsten tvĂ„ gĂ„nger medan vi var i Thailand. Extremt snabb och effektiv kundservice. BĂ€sta pris som erbjuds i Chiang Mai för resorna. Artiga, punktliga, professionella och engelsktalande chaufförer. Rena, bekvĂ€ma fordon. Som en regelbunden besökare i Thailand var detta den bĂ€sta servicen, utan tvekan. Mycket nöjd med företaget. Jag hoppas att det bibehĂ„ller den serviceexcellens som gavs till oss.â
