Florence & Tuscany - At A Glance

FLORENCE & TUSCANY

Admired for centuries and rightfully regarded among the most influential cities of global history, the contributions of Florence to mankind are so significant that it didn’t just define Western civilization, it literally shaped the modern world. Yet, the region’s appeal is not confined to its capital; it’s not dependent on any abstract claims, not even on prior knowledge of its status, because Tuscany is a region that speaks directly to the senses! The richness and beauty of the great works of art and architecture in Florence, the delights and diversions of its contemporary cities, the serenity and harmony of the Tuscan countryside and its unparalleled culinary treasures create such an overwhelming experience that it’s enough to seduce even the most cynical of souls.

GETTING AROUND

BY TAXI

Although all of your transfers to airports, stations, harbors, and hotels have likely been included in your TrueTrip experience, there will be instances where you will use a taxi to get around. Always make sure that the driver starts the meter when you get in the taxi and check the meter before you pay. If in doubt about a fare, please check with your hotel concierge who is also able to arrange taxi pick-ups for you.

BY CAR

Although public transportation makes getting around quite easy, if you’d like to uncover more of this location, you may want to rent a car; your hotel concierge can assist you with making arrangements with a local car rental company. We always recommend careful and cautious driving in Europe as roads can be old, narrow and with high
volumes of traffic.
