City A - Z
Top class Travel TV.
Florence surroundings such as the hills of Chianti, the Careggi, Fiesole and Settignano are literally covered with wine and olive trees. It’s easy to find a nice cool spot to have a picnic or to unwind form the city traffic!
A very nice walk you should experience as a first-time visitor is the one which leads to Fiesole. If walking is not your thing, you can easily catch bus n. 7 from the main train station and reach the top of the hills in less than 30 minutes. The view is one of the best over the city and you will be find yourself surrounded by fine buildings of artistic and archaeological interest such as the Dome, the Roman Theatre and the S.Francesco church. Poets and writers have wrote odes and poems to these hilly places.
If you are in Florence on the second Sunday of the month, go to Fiesole as it hosts a characteristic antique market in the central square. If you are a wine lover, you should also get a car or a motorbike and explore the beautiful Chianti region just south of Florence. This is a stunning area scattered with wine-growing estates spread out around ancient castles, ‘magioni’ and country villas. There is also the possibility to see this region by public transportations like buses or local trains that will bring you to Siena in about a hour, Arezzo, San Gimignano, Pisa, Lucca and more destinations. They all are an hours’ journey, although you might need to dedicate a couple of days to Siena if you wish to visit it properly.
