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.
