Florence's centro storico (historic center) is much, much smaller than that of most of the famous cities in Europe, and the bulk of it is pedestrian-only, so it's supremely easy to get about on foot. Honestly, you can walk from one side of the historic center to the other in under 30 minutes (15 minutes if you really hoof it).
Where is?... - Dov'è?
left - sinistra
right - destra
straight ahead - avanti or sempre diritto
ticket - biglietto
city bus - autobus
bus stop - fermata
taxi - taxi
bike rental - noleggio bici
Within three or four stops, however, they find they have already whizzed past the center and are now out in the suburbs.
Honestly; I've spent probably a year of my life in Florence all told, yet I've only ever taken the bus a handful of times (and most of those were either up to get up the nearby village of Fiesole or into the hills above the Oltrarno).
So expect to walk just about everywhere. That said, here is how the various forms of transportation work:
