Featured Restaurant of the Week :

Pizzeria Spera (Via della Cernaia, 9).
Off the beaten path, this pizzeria is often hailed as boasting Florence’s best pizza. Around the corner from CET’s Cinque Giornate apartment, don’t miss this neighborhood jewel!



Anxious to explore? Suggestions in/around Florence:

Take Bus 7's new express line from Piazza San Marco to Fiesole for a quick escape into the hills. The trip takes 15 minutes and the view from the
hillside town is fantastic!

Or … Bus 12 (or make the 30 minute walk up from the city center) to Piazzale Michelangelo for a breathtaking view of Florence or a picnic in the Rose Garden.

                                         Spectacular view from the Piazzale Michelangelo.
