I find it the best way to discover a city and its history. You can hop on and off whenever you feel like it, enjoying the neighborhoods and getting lost in the streets you like.
    • Hop on and off across 2 routes and 25+ stops in Florence, with buses running every 25 to 60 minutes throughout the day.

    • The Blue Line covers Florence's historic heart — Santa Croce, Piazzale Michelangelo, and the artisan streets near Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral.

    • The Red Line reaches further out, encompassing hill towns like Fiesole, the Museo del Calcio, and quieter residential neighbourhoods along the riverbank.

    • An 8-language audio guide is included on all buses, with commentary on the sights as you pass them.

    • Choose a 24-, 48-, or 72-hour pass depending on how much time you want in the city. Board at any stop to begin.
