Getting around
Arriving
none nearby. No railway up the hill; Autolinee Toscane city bus 7 climbs from Florence San Marco in about 25 minutes.
Tickets · Autolinee Toscane
Fiesole is Florence's balcony: Roman theatre, monastery climb and the view that explains the city below
AT app, tabaccherie and machines; ordinary Florence urban tickets cover the ride.
Validate when boarding.
On foot
- ·The San Francesco climb above the piazza earns the full Florence panorama; the Roman theatre and Etruscan walls fill the archaeological hour
- ·The old lane back down to Florence (Via Vecchia Fiesolana) makes a lovely one way descent walk
Taxis and driving
- ·Parking at the piazza edge is tight; the bus genuinely wins here
