People are always asking on travel websites, social media, and blogs: "How do I get to The Mall?" - or even, "What is The Mall in Florence?"

"The Mall" is a super high-end boutique outlet not far from Florence that features only the best luxury brands. FYI, it may be an "outlet", but this is high end designer label shopping - if you come back from here laden with fancy designer themed bags, you'll have spent thousands of euros. Some of the brands available are:

• Balenciaga
• Fendi
• Gucci
• Pucci
• Ferragamo
• Stella McCartney
• YSL
• La Perla

...to name but a few. So how do you get there?

Getting to The Mall, Florence (Leccio)

Getting to The Mall By Bus

The Mall bus leaves from the Piazzale Montelungo Bus Terminal, which is just a couple of minutes walk from the main Florence train station (Firenze SMN). The ride takes about 30 minutes, and you can book online with Busitalia. The bus runs daily from Florence at 8:50, 09:10, 10:00, 11:00, 12:00, 14:00, and 16:00, with returns from 09:45, 10:10, 13:00, 14:00, 15:00, 16:00, 17:00, 18:00, 19:20, and 20:20. The fare is €8 one way, and €15 round trip - some reductions are available.

Getting to The Mall by Train

This is a slower way but still possible - take a local train from Firenze SMN to Rignano sull'Arno. From there you will find taxis waiting to take you the rest of the way (about 5 to 10 minutes) to The Mall.

Getting to The Mall by car

You can also drive yourself of course!

From Florence: Take the A1 in the direction of Rome (you can enter from the airport area or from south of Florence near Certosa). Leave the highway at the "Incisa-Reggello" exit and proceed on the right towards Pontassieve, as far as Leccio. The luxury outlet The Mall Firenze is on the left, just outside the centre of Leccio.
