An easy way to go to the center of Florence is to take a city bus (#62) from the airport. We spent 1 month in north Italy in 1999. The bus goes directly to the train station which is near the Duomo.

>From Florence it is easy to go to Sienna, Pisa, Lucca. We have also visited Assisi on a day trip from Florence. We used the Let's Go North Italy (in French)as guide.

Florence is an open-air museum. Very beautiful.

Bon voyage,
