Time to fly! An unforgettable Erasmus is waiting for you in Florence.

Get ready for an impressive adventure.

Florence, also known as the city of Tuscany, is an amazing region characterized by its spectacular culinary tradition, culture and unique dialect.

Its large number of artistic masterpieces and architecture make Florence one of the leading cities of Italian and European culture.

In addition to the wonderful buildings and churches, this city has a fun side: a large number of entertainment activities, markets, concerts, cultural visits, parties and many more events that make this city the perfect place to live if you are a student or a young worker.

We want you to enjoy every moment of this adventure abroad. Therefore, here we have some tips to settle in our apartments in Florence where you will have the opportunity to live with young internationals with whom you can travel and discover the city.

Before your arrival

We know that the application process for your Erasmus place and its respective award were exciting and overwhelming procedures at the same time, but now comes your biggest challenge: looking for accommodation in Florence. Our first tip is to start the search for accommodation a few months in advance, that way you can find the room or apartment that best suits your needs.

Accommodation options in Florence

As we have said before, finding accommodation is one of the most difficult parts of this trip.
There is a question you should ask yourself when choosing accommodation: what kind of experience do you want to live during your Erasmus? According to your answer, here are the different accommodation options in Florence:

Single room in shared apartment

If your idea is to live like any young international who does his Erasmus in Florence, the single room is the accommodation solution that all international young people choose! All are advantages: you can choose to live where you want and it allows you to meet new people having your personal space private. This is the second cheapest option of all the options that we propose in this article.

Shared room

It is probably the best option for students. You will share room and flat with other students. This will help you reduce costs during your stay abroad. The best thing is that your flatmates will become friends for a lifetime!

Entire apartment

If you want to live alone, at your own pace and without having to share any of the spaces of your home, renting a complete home is the option you should consider! But it is probably the least affordable housing.

Student residence

If you want to live in your own room, having several common spaces where you can enjoy with other students and also require restaurant and laundry service, this is your place!
Living in a student residence in Florence is like living in a 4-star hotel. Of course, this is one of the least economical solutions.

Coliving

If you want to live in a big family, this is your best option. Coliving is not a simple apartment but a COMMUNITY. Tenants share values, time and interests. In addition, you will be able to use all the common spaces of the building.

If all this information has seemed little, take a look at our living guide to discover how to get the most out of your Erasmus!

Pack your suitcase and get ready to live an unforgettable experience in Florence!
