Need to revive this thread...I have MANY questions!!
1) Which bus line/number would go from the airport to...lets say...the Duomo?
2) Where is the bus terminal in the airport (level or section)?
3) Do you buy the tickets (tokens?) on the bus or before boarding?
and IF we considered the more expensive taxi option...
1) In general what would a fare be (Again to the Duomo)?
2) Are there certified cabbies to look for (Or ones to watch out for and never enter)?
3) Are fares negotiated ahead of time? Or is it more like NYC where you just get in and trust they will not take you for an extended ride?

You are talking about Florence' regional airport and not the major international airport by Florence - at Pisa - that station has frequent direct trains to Florence Santa Maria Novella, where you can hop the tram to the Duomo (think the new tram is up and running but not sure).

This is the major airport serving the Florence region but if coming from Germany it could also be the 'Florence' airport
If Pisa the train station is right in the airport proper.

Yes, that is Florence itself. Just checking to be sure which one you were going to. Makes a big difference if going to Galilei. Taxi or bus would work. Take a look at this: http://goeurope.about.com/od/florenc...irport-map.htm
