What are the two train stations in Florence?

The main and the biggest one is Florence Santa Maria Novella, others are Firenze Campo di Marte, and Campo di Marte train station. Almost all of them are located in the city center, so you can easily reach any of them or any part of Florence.



Florence, Italy, has two primary railway stations, though one is significantly more important for tourists. The main station is Firenze Santa Maria Novella (SMN), a masterpiece of 1930s modernist architecture located in the heart of the city, within walking distance of the Duomo. Almost all high-speed trains (Frecciarossa and Italo) and regional services arrive and depart from here. The second most important station is Firenze Campo di Marte, located to the east of the city center near the Artemio Franchi football stadium. While it handles some regional traffic and a few long-distance "bypass" trains that do not enter the stub-end SMN terminal, it is primarily used by commuters. A third station, Firenze Rifredi, is a major transit node for regional trains connecting to Pisa and Lucca. For 95% of visitors, Santa Maria Novella is the only station they will need to use, as it serves as the city's central transport hub for both trains and local buses.

Like I mentioned above, Italo is usually cheaper than Trenitalia but because the cabins on lower-class tickets aren't the most comfortable, I'll usually consider Italo only for trains that are less than 2 or 3 hours long unless the Comfort ticket class is cheaper than Trenitalia.
