İstanbul–Florence Flight Tickets
From Istanbul, Florence is a single connecting hop of roughly 2 hours 19 minutes — and then you're standing in the city where the Renaissance began. The Uffizi's quiet rooms full of Botticelli, the terracotta dome of the Duomo catching the late light, the goldsmiths' shops on the Ponte Vecchio: all of it within a few cobbled streets.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the flight to Florence?
The whole trip from Istanbul runs about 2 hours 19 minutes. There's no nonstop, so you'll change planes once — budget a little extra depending on your layover.
Do I need a visa for Florence?
Yes. Italy sits inside the Schengen zone, so you'll need a Schengen visa sorted before you fly. Apply a few weeks ahead, since appointment slots fill up in peak season.
When are the cheapest fares?
One-way tickets start around 4,848 TL. Aim for April, May or September — clear skies, gentler crowds, and none of the August heat pressing down on the squares.
Where should I eat in Florence?
For a proper sit-down lunch, Trattoria Mario by the San Lorenzo market is the old-school choice; for a bistecca alla fiorentina, head to Buca Mario. Both have been doing the same dishes, well, for ages.
