Airlines flying Delhi to Florence
There is no non-stop, and because Florence (FLR) is a small regional airport, you connect through a larger European hub. The most frequent and often quickest options are Lufthansa via Frankfurt or Munich and ITA Airways via Rome (a one-stop, same-airline-group routing). Air France via Paris, KLM via Amsterdam and SWISS via Zurich also connect well, and Air India feeds many of these hubs from Delhi. Some travellers instead fly to a nearby Italian airport such as Pisa or Bologna and take a fast train into Florence. For checked-through bags and protected connections, book the whole DEL–FLR journey on a single ticket.
Cheapest time to fly & book
Tuscany's peak is the European summer (June–August) and the shoulder "sweet spots" of April–May and September–October, when Florence is busiest and fares firm up; Christmas/New Year is dear too. The cheapest stretch is winter (November–March, excluding the holidays). As of May 2026, indicative round-trip economy fares range roughly ₹55,000–95,000 depending on routing and season, with one-ways from around ₹32,000 on the keenest one-stop sales. Because all options connect, weigh total journey time against price — the cheapest fare can carry a long layover. Book peak-summer dates 2–3 months ahead. Indicative only — check live in the FlightGPT chat.
Flight duration & routing
With no non-stop, the quickest single-stop journeys run from about 11 hours total — for example via Munich or Frankfurt with a tight connection — while longer layovers push the trip towards 15 hours. The Delhi–Europe leg is roughly 8–9 hours, followed by a short ~1–2 hour hop into Florence. Great-circle distance is about 6,000 km. Florence is 3h 30m–4h 30m behind India depending on European daylight saving, so a night departure from Delhi typically lands in Florence the same morning or midday. Build in a comfortable connection at your hub, particularly if changing between airlines that are not partners.
Baggage & fares
On these 1-stop fares, checked allowances vary by carrier — Lufthansa, ITA, Air France and KLM economy typically allow one piece of 23 kg to Europe on basic intercontinental fares, with more in premium cabins or higher fare types. The catch is consistency: if your booking mixes two airlines that are not partners, the most restrictive rule can apply and bags may need re-checking at the hub. Wherever possible, book the whole DEL–FLR journey on a single ticket so baggage transfers automatically and a missed connection is protected. Vegetarian (VGML), Asian-vegetarian (AVML) and Jain (JNML) meals can be requested up to 24 hours before departure.
Airports & terminals
Delhi (DEL) — international flights depart Terminal 3. Florence (FLR) — Amerigo Vespucci Airport at Peretola is small but very central, only about 5–6 km north-west of the historic centre, with the T2 tramway linking it to the city in around 20 minutes (taxis are quick too). Its runway and size limit it to mostly short-haul flights, which is why long-haul travellers connect. If your fare routes via Pisa or Bologna instead, both have fast, frequent trains to Florence Santa Maria Novella (Pisa ~1 hour, Bologna ~35–40 minutes). Allow time to clear your European transfer hub, where you usually also clear Schengen immigration.
Visa & entry for Indians
Italy is in the Schengen Area, so Indian passport holders need a Schengen Type C (short-stay) visa arranged before travel — there is no visa-on-arrival. You apply through Italy's authorised partner (VFS Global) in India, to the country that is your main destination. The visa allows stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day period across the whole Schengen zone, with a fee around €90. You will need travel medical insurance (min. €30,000 cover), confirmed flights and accommodation, bank statements and proof of ties to India. Note your connecting hub is also in Schengen, so the single visa covers the transit. Apply well ahead in peak season — full guidance is in the Visas guide.
Best time to visit
Florence is loveliest in spring (April–May) and autumn (September–October) — mild weather and slightly thinner crowds for the Duomo, Uffizi, Accademia and day-trips into the Tuscan countryside. Summer (June–August) is hot and very crowded, with peak prices; winter (November–March) is cool and much quieter, the cheapest time to fly and a fine season for museums without the queues. The city is compact and walkable year-round. Book major galleries ahead in any season to skip long lines. For what to see and where to stay, see the Florence destination guide.
