More about Fiesole
Fiesole is a town located in Tuscany on the hill immediately behind Florence. Thanks to its elevated position and the short distance from the city, it boasts an incomparable view of Florence.
The scenic route that rises from Florence to Fiesole passes through the stunning Tuscan countryside rich in magnificent villas.
Fiesole is rich in art, history, and nature. The great attraction that is Fiesole’s territory is due partly to the the charm of the routes through the parks and hills, partly to the thick concentration of monuments and vestiges recalling ancient past.
Fiesole is an ancient Etruscan town that later became a flourishing Roman colony, as testified by the beautiful Roman Amphitheater. It is from this settlement that the City of Florence seems to have originated: this is why Fiesole is considered the “mother” of the city.
The focal point of Fiesole is Piazza Mino da Fiesole, a nice square with small cafes and taverns: the wine and food tasting will take place here at the end of your tour.
The attractiveness of Fiesole has never failed over the centuries, and today the town is a destination for tourists in search of intense cultural experiences between villas and museums, and for thousands of people who want to enjoy the beauty of the hills and the view of Florence, which is one of the most photographed in the world.
Is the Fiesole Tour right for me?
This trip is right for you if you love scenic routes, enchanting panorama, small villages, and tasting delicious food and wines. It is suitable for families, a group of friends, couples, and solo travelers.
Besides, consider that since this is an eco-friendly tour, you will reach Fiesole by public bus: it is very tidy, clean and nice, as is everything in Florence, and the route that it makes is one of the most beautiful in the world. But if you are looking for a “VIP experience”, we suggest booking the private option for this tour.
