Activities & Experiences around Florence
Florence offers an extraordinary array of activities perfect for enhancing any corporate event, transforming routine gatherings into memorable experiences. Team-building opportunities are exceptionally rich, tapping into the city's artistic and culinary heritage. Consider hands-on artisan workshops where delegates can learn traditional Florentine crafts, or engaging cooking classes mastering Tuscan specialities, culminating in a shared meal. For a taste of the region, vineyard excursions into the nearby Chianti hills offer a delightful blend of wine tasting and picturesque scenery, fostering camaraderie outside the boardroom.
Beyond structured activities, the city itself provides endless inspiration. Organise guided cultural tours that delve into the masterpieces of the Uffizi Gallery, the Accademia, or the architectural marvels of the Duomo. These experiences not only stimulate creative thinking but also provide valuable networking opportunities as teams explore the city's artistic heart together. From the sculptural language of Piazza della Signoria to the intimate riverfront promenades, Florence’s inspiring surroundings are a catalyst for conversation and connection.
For those looking to explore further afield, Florence serves as an ideal base for discovering the wider Tuscan region. Teams could embark on day trips to the medieval city of Siena, renowned for its Piazza del Campo, or visit Pisa to capture iconic photos with its leaning tower. Alternatively, a journey north to Bologna offers a different culinary perspective of Italy. These excursions provide a fantastic way to reward teams and offer diverse cultural immersion beyond your event schedule, showcasing the best of this magnificent corner of Europe.

How much does an event in Florence cost?

Full-day hire for a larger historic venue or dedicated conference space could range from €1,500 to €8,000+, with high-end palazzi commanding premium rates.
Catering costs per person typically start from €40-€70 for a basic lunch package, rising to €80-€150+ for a gala dinner or a premium banquet with drinks.

Getting to Florence
Florence is well-connected for international delegates, making it a convenient choice for UK corporate events. The city's nearest airport is Florence Airport (Amerigo Vespucci Airport - FLR), located just 4 km northwest of the city centre. It offers direct flights from several major European cities, with connecting flights from the UK often via hubs like Amsterdam, Paris, or Frankfurt. Alternatively, Pisa International Airport (Galileo Galilei Airport - PSA), approximately 80 km away, is a larger hub for budget airlines and offers more direct flights from the UK, with easy train or bus connections to Florence.
Florence Santa Maria Novella (SMN) is the main railway station, a central transport hub with high-speed rail links connecting to major Italian cities like Rome, Milan, and Venice. This makes it an excellent option for delegates wishing to travel sustainably or extend their stay.
While driving to Florence is possible via Italy's extensive motorway network, particularly the A1 (Autostrada del Sole), navigating the city centre with its ZTL (Limited Traffic Zones) can be challenging. Most corporate event planners opt for organised transfers or public transport upon arrival.
Within the city, Florence is incredibly walkable, especially its historic centre. An efficient public transport network of buses, operated by Autolinee Toscane, connects all major areas, and a tram system serves key routes, including the airport. Taxis are also readily available for convenient point-to-point travel.
