Getting around by bus, cab, walking in Florence, Italy? |
Travel Info Tips? I will be there for about a month this summer and want to know the easiest & most practical ways to get around the city. Travel Tips You can walk across the city centre in half an hour . In summer it can be tireing and hard on the feet . There are many buses all over the city both large and small . Buy tickets at a tabaconists or newsagent , you can get a 4ride ticket and probably a monthly season ticket . If you always have a ticket on you , you can always hop on a bus . There is usually a notice to the bus route at the bus stop . When walking about the city , particularly the city centre , keep your eyes and wits about you ; there are many thieves and pickpocket about and people who ride motor cycles to grab womens handbags . Don't walk about the city in the early hours of the morning . A number 7 bus from Piazza San Marco will take you up to Fiesole . A ride on the bus costs the same wherever you go and is good for a certain length of time , so may even serve for the return journey . The out of town bus station is near the central station and will take you to all manner of places in the country . I recommend that if you are based in Florence for a month you take trips out into the country . You will only see Florence in context when you see the beautiful Tuscany surrounding it . Have a lovely time !!! Others Walking definitely. Florence is such a lovely place to visit. It would be a pity to bus/drive and miss all of the little sights. A mo-ped would be a great way to get around also. i'm a italian girl...if you want to travel here you can use autobus (there are a lot) and tou can take a map of the autobus in someune tourist office... Florence is a very beutiful city and tou can walk in the centre without problems!-) good holidays On getting around it's better if you walk unless you want to visit the Tuscan countryside then you need to rent a car. If you want to avoid the crowd: Wake up early, stay out late, sleep in between. <*-*> Walking is the most practical way for daily things. The bus is also a good way when you need to travel a bit further. Just make sure to get a map/schedule. Also, a great way to travel long distances is the train - my experience with the train system in Italy has always been good (it's economical, and easy to use!) Have fun! i would give anything to walk in florence!! i'm planning a trip two years from now for when i go...i know it's a while before i go. But i have read alot of things about walking around in florence. like it's not a dangerous city but there are alot of pick-pocketers that pry on tourists. they say that there are so many things that will give a theif the conclusion that you are a tourist. stay safe! Is to hot in the Summer to walk around, I think that if you stay for a few weeks the best way to go around the city is a bicycle, you can rent one very cheap from the "Comune di Firenze" is like one euro a day... you can find one spot near train station. |
