Florence
A compact treasury of the Renaissance. The old town is best on foot; a tram runs straight to the airport.
Airport access (T2 tram and taxi)
No special airport fare: the T2 tram takes the ordinary 90-minute city ticket. The catch is luggage - one small bag rides free; each big suitcase needs an extra ticket. At night, taxis run at a fixed fare to the centre.

Heads-up

A driver who approaches you may not be a taxi
A driver who approaches you in the arrivals hall is not necessarily a taxi. An NCC hire car normally may not wait for passengers at a public rank and is meant to be booked in advance, but in airport areas a comune may make an exception, limited to zones clearly separated from the taxi rank. The fixed airport fare belongs to the taxi tariff and does not apply to an NCC, so join the official taxi rank and check the tariff sheet displayed in the car.
