Hop-on/Hop-off: Places of interest

Florence is famous for its art galleries and the cathedral, whose dome towers over the city. There are also palaces, squares and other sights. Most of them can be reached by hop-on hop-off bus.

  • Galleria degli Uffizi
  • Teatro Romano
  • Galleria dell'Accademia
  • Porta Romana
  • Cathedral
  • Boboli Garden
  • Palazzo Vecchio
  • Palazzo Pitti
  • Piazzale Michelangelo

Simply get off at the nearest stop, visit a place of interest and then continue your journey.

Attention: Many sights are located in the old town of Florence. Buses are not allowed to go through the old town. However, there are several stops outside the city walls, so the next sight is not far away. In any case, be prepared to walk some distances.
