Fiesole

Fiesole is a simply stunning town resting right above Firenze in the scenic Tuscan hills, making it the perfect place in the summer to venture for a day trip from Firenze. Grab a bus ticket available at most tabaccherie or the train station for around 1.50 € for the round trip, then head to Piazza San Marco and look out for bus # 7. The bus generally runs about every thirty minutes and takes about twenty minutes to get up to Fiesole.

While Fiesole may be small it contains many sights to see: the Piazza Mino da Fiesole (Cathedral of Fiesole), Piazza San Francesco (The Church and Convent of San Francesco), or The Archaeological Museum. Then after a long day of adventures, grab a table at one of Fiesole’s restaurants like Villa San Michele, Vinandro, or La Reggia degli Etruschi and eat while watching a panoramic view of the sunset on the Tuscan Hills. Keep in mind, the buses do stop running around eight or nine in the nighttime. --Caleigh Williams
