Florence hop-on buses: two hop-on hop-off sightseeing tour routes

Both tours start at Santa Maria Novella (SMN) Station the main railway station for Florence and major transport hub, though you can join the tour at any stop.

Florence City Tour

The entire route takes 1 hour. Buses depart most of the year at least every 30 minutes from each stop, (every 15 minutes between April and November).

This tour takes you around the city of Florence. The buses follow a 16km route that snakes through the city centre with 15 stops, from Santa Maria Novella station to Piazzale Michelangelo.

Though please note, the very centre of Florence where the Duomo, Vecchio Palace and Accademia Gallery are located are pedestrianised, so you will have a 5 minute walk from the nearest stop.

Florence Fiesole Tour

The entire route takes 2 hours. Take this tour to see views of the city of Florence and visit the museums.

A vacation in Florence won't be complete without visiting Fiesole, the famous Etruscan city lying on a hill just 3km away from Florence downtown. Fiesole offers a panoramic view over Florence, but it also gives the opportunity to visit museums, churches or to take country paths ideals for trekking or walking.
