Description
This golf cart tour of Florence leaves the city centre behind for 90 minutes of quiet in the hills around the city. You sit in an open-air, eco-friendly cart and roll along tree-lined avenues and country lanes past olive groves, cypresses and Renaissance villas.
Your local guide leads the way to the best viewpoints. The route passes Villa del Poggio Imperiale and the quiet district of Arcetri, then climbs to San Miniato al Monte, with Florence laid out beneath it. Piazzale Michelangelo is next, an obvious stop for photographs.
- Villa del Poggio Imperiale
- Arcetri
- San Miniato al Monte
- Piazzale Michelangelo
- Bellosguardo and Via di Marignolle
The last part takes you over Bellosguardo hill and along Via di Marignolle, the stretch where the Tuscan landscape feels most genuine. As an express introduction to the city's surroundings, it is a restful way to see Florence from above, without walking uphill yourself.
