Welcome to the cradle of the Renaissance! Florence is a masterpiece of art, architecture, and incredible Tuscan food. With a JamboSim eSIM, you can skip the Wi-Fi hunt and focus on finding the best gelato in town while staying connected every step of the way. 🍷
Florence (FLR) is super close. Jump on the T2 tram right outside arrivals—it takes just 20 minutes to reach the city centre for €1.70. If you’re flying into Pisa International (PSA), it takes a bit longer. Catch the PisaMover shuttle to Pisa Centrale station, then hop on a regional train to Firenze Santa Maria Novella. The whole trip from Pisa takes about 1.5 hours and costs around €11.
Florence is incredibly walkable, especially since much of the historic centre is a restricted traffic zone (ZTL). You won't need public transport often, but the AT bus network and two tram lines (T1 and T2) are handy for longer trips. Buy digital tickets on the AT bus app or tap your contactless card on board. Remember, you can't hail a taxi on the street here; use a taxi rank or the Free Now app.
Free public Wi-Fi is available in many piazzas and cafes, but speeds can drop drastically, especially when thick stone walls block the signal. Relying on public networks can also leave your data vulnerable. A JamboSim eSIM gives you secure, fast data wherever you roam. Whether you need to pull up a digital museum ticket or use maps to navigate the medieval alleyways, your own connection saves the day.
Book major attractions like the Uffizi and Accademia weeks in advance to skip the massive, hours-long queues. When ordering coffee, remember that a "caffè" means a single espresso, and sitting at a table often costs significantly more than drinking it standing at the bar (al banco). Also, don't be surprised by the "coperto" (cover charge) added to your restaurant bill—it's standard practice in Italy and replaces tipping.
