Log in
Are you dreaming of walking across the Ponte Vecchio at sunset, exploring the Uffizi Gallery, or sipping Chianti in a piazza? A trip from Oslo to Florence (Firenze) is a journey into the artistic and cultural soul of Italy. At Ready2Go, we specialize in connecting Norwegian travelers with the magic of Tuscany, ensuring your flight from Oslo (OSL) to Florence Peretola (FLR) is as elegant as the destination itself.
Florence is a favorite destination for Norwegians seeking culture, history, and world-class gastronomy. However, reaching this Tuscan gem requires smart travel planning. Unlike larger hubs, Florence’s airport is unique, and navigating the route requires the expertise of a trusted travel partner.
Traveling to regional Italian airports can sometimes be complex due to fewer direct connections compared to Rome or Milan. Ready2Go removes the uncertainty, offering you a seamless booking experience backed by local Norwegian service.
1. Expert Route Management
Direct flights from Oslo to Florence are rare and often seasonal. Most itineraries involve a connection through major European hubs like Frankfurt, Munich, or Zurich. Our travel experts analyze these connections to ensure you aren't stuck with unreasonable layovers. We find the "Goldilocks" routes—short enough to be efficient, but long enough to ensure your luggage makes the transfer.
2. The "Peretola" Advantage
We specifically target flights into Florence Peretola (Amerigo Vespucci Airport). While some engines might route you to Pisa (an hour away by train), landing at FLR puts you just 15 minutes from the city center. We prioritize your convenience so you can start your vacation immediately.
3. Peace of Mind Support
Italy is wonderful, but strikes and weather delays can happen. By booking with a Norwegian agency, you have a dedicated team to assist you if plans change. We are your safety net, ensuring you are never left to navigate a foreign airport alone.
Departure from Gardermoen:
Your trip begins at Oslo Airport Gardermoen. We recommend checking in early to enjoy a relaxed start. If you are bringing wine home on the return leg, we can help ensure you book a fare class with adequate checked baggage allowance from the start.
Arrival at Florence Peretola (FLR):
Florence’s airport is compact and efficient.
The Landing: The approach to Florence is stunning, offering views of the Tuscan hills.
Getting to Town: One of the best features of flying into FLR is the T2 Tramway. It connects the airport directly to the Santa Maria Novella central station in about 20 minutes for a very low cost. It is often faster than a taxi during rush hour.
Weather Awareness: FLR is located in a valley. On rare occasions, high winds prevent landing, and flights divert to Pisa or Bologna. As your travel partner, we prepare you for these possibilities and help manage ground transport if diversions occur.
Florence offers a concentrated dose of Italian culture that is perfect for a long weekend or the start of a Tuscan road trip.
Art & History: It is home to Michelangelo’s David and Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus. The entire city center is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Culinary Excellence: From a simple panino with truffles to a massive Bistecca alla Fiorentina (Florentine steak), the food scene is legendary.
Gateway to Tuscany: Rent a car and within 30 minutes you are in the Chianti wine region, surrounded by vineyards and olive groves.
To ensure your Italian adventure meets your expectations, here is our expert advice:
Best Time to Fly: Spring (April-May) and Autumn (September-October) are ideal. The weather is mild, and the city is less crowded than in the sweltering heat of July and August.
Pre-Book Museums: The queues for the Uffizi and the Accademia can be hours long. We strongly recommend booking your museum tickets online weeks before you fly.
City Tax: Be aware that hotels in Florence charge a "tassa di soggiorno" (tourist tax) per person, per night, which is usually paid in cash upon arrival.
Currency: Italy uses the Euro (€). While cards are widely accepted, small trattorias and gelato stands often prefer cash.
Romantic Getaways: Planning a proposal or an anniversary? We can help you find flights that maximize your time for romantic dinners and sunset strolls along the Arno River.
Art & Culture Groups: Traveling with a history club or art class? We handle group bookings to keep your team together on the same flights.
Wine Lovers: If the main goal is visiting vineyards, we can advise on flight schedules that align with rental car desk opening times, ensuring you can pick up your vehicle and head straight to the countryside.
Don't let complex connections keep you from the trip of a lifetime. Let Ready2Go handle the logistics while you dream of gelato.
