Travel
Florence airport is the closest airport to Prato. It is small and only 15 km away from Prato, so it’s easy to catch a cab on arrival.
However, as Rome has more flights and connections, you may prefer to fly into Rome and transfer to a high-speed Florence bound train. These long-distance Italian trains are reliable and comfortable, and allow you to relax and see the countryside. The trip to Florence takes 2-3 hours.
On arrival at the Florence station, change platforms to catch one of the regular Florence-Prato trains, then disembark at Prato Porta Serraglio station, a 20-30 minutes ride and an easy 5-minute walk from your accommodation. Due to the small one-way streets in Prato central, taxi access can be tricky.
