Description
A golf cart tour to Piazzale Michelangelo that takes you up the hills of Florence without a single uphill walk, with a driver-guide who comments live at each stop.
Florence's best viewpoints sit up on the hill, and this golf cart tour to Piazzale Michelangelo gets you there without a single climb on foot. A driver-guide takes you up in about 90 minutes and talks about each place as you reach it.
The ride starts in the San Niccolò district, with its bohemian atmosphere, and passes the medieval walls at Porta San Miniato, with the Torre di San Niccolò nearby. Then the cart climbs the Poggi Ramps, the Rampe, a nineteenth-century design of fountains and terraced gardens.
- the Rose Garden, with hundreds of kinds of roses and the Duomo in the distance
- Piazzale Michelangelo, for the skyline of Florence seen as on postcards
- the San Miniato al Monte abbey, a Romanesque landmark on the city's highest ground
The cart reaches vantage points that standard city buses and large groups cannot, and the ride is designed to be eco-friendly and comfortable. The tour suits anyone who wants the panoramas of Florence without the climb.
