Looking for cheap flights from Bangalore to Florence?

FLR's short runway handles only regional aircraft, so you connect twice or fly into Pisa, Rome or Milan and continue by air or train. A common pattern is BLR–DXB on Emirates, then a European carrier into FLR, totalling 14–16 hours. Alternatively, fly via Frankfurt on Lufthansa and pick up the FRA–FLR leg. Many travellers find it cheaper to land at Rome Fiumicino and take the 1h 30m high-speed train to Florence.
Florence runs UTC+1, putting it 4 hours 30 minutes behind India. Most one-stop itineraries leave Bangalore after midnight and reach Florence by late morning or midday local time. Westbound travel makes the first evening feel long, so a light dinner and an early night help reset your body clock. Expect about a day to fully adjust. In summer Italy observes daylight saving (UTC+2), narrowing the gap to 3 hours 30 minutes.
Indian travellers need a Schengen visa, applied through Italy's visa centre (BLS) when Italy is your main destination. Submit bank statements, confirmed flights, hotel bookings and travel insurance covering at least €30,000. Processing usually takes 15 calendar days but can stretch to 30 in peak season, so apply 4–6 weeks ahead. A short-stay visa permits up to 90 days within any 180-day period. Our visa guide lists the full checklist.
Economy round-trips typically run ₹60,000–₹95,000. November and the January–February low season offer the best deals, sometimes near ₹55,000 on Gulf carriers. Fares climb sharply from May through September — Tuscany's peak — and over Christmas, when they can exceed ₹1,10,000. Booking 2–3 months ahead and staying flexible on whether you land at FLR, Pisa or Rome can save ₹10,000–₹20,000.
Amerigo Vespucci (FLR) is just 5 km northwest of the city — one of Europe's closest airports to its centre. The T2 tramway reaches the centre in about 20 minutes for around €1.70, while a taxi costs a flat €24 (about ₹2,200) by day. Walking the compact old town is the joy of Florence; most sights cluster within a 20-minute stroll of the Duomo. Trains to Pisa, Siena and Rome leave from Santa Maria Novella station.
Florence packs an extraordinary amount into a small footprint: the Duomo and Brunelleschi's dome, the Uffizi Gallery, Michelangelo's David at the Accademia, and the medieval Ponte Vecchio. Book major museum tickets online to skip queues that can run over an hour in summer. Day trips into the Chianti vineyards and to Siena and Pisa suit longer stays. Pair this with our Bangalore–Rome guide if you plan a wider Italy loop.
Italy uses the euro; ₹1 is roughly €0.011, so a €100 day is about ₹9,000. Gulf carriers usually allow 30–35 kg checked in economy, but the European regional leg into FLR may cap it lower — verify before you pack. Summers are hot at 28–34°C, while winters dip to 3–12°C with occasional rain. Comfortable shoes matter, as Florence is best explored on foot over cobblestones.
