Hello all,
I am planning to take the terrevision bus from Pisa airport to Florence (will perhaps take the train to return to the airport 3 days later as it is a 10:00 AM flight). Anyway according to the terravision website, for 4 additional euros, we could get a pass for all public transportation in Florence. Seems very reasonable, but is it only for the arrival day? - I could not find this answer on the website.
Any day ticket (carta giornaliera) starts running as soon as you punch it in the machine in the first (city) bus you take, so if you use it on your day of arrival, that is the day it will be for. For subsequent days you can get a 24-hour ticket for €5 or 3-day ticket for €12 from ATAF, the Florence city bus company, see http://www.ataf.net/Template/ListBiglietti.aspx?LN=en-US&idC=82 (and http://www.lodging.it/florence-tour/transport/buses.html).
There are many gelateries in Florence, some have very creamy ice, some have hundreds of flavours, some are just for tourists. The most famous one is the Vivoli, Via Isola delle Stinche. Very delicious as well is the Frullatoria's ice-cream, Via dei Bardi.
if you fancy a little respite from the bustling streets of florence, head for the the parco delle cascine near the piazza vittorio veneto, you'll find the most fantastic open-air swimming pool. great for a dip and a people-watch....it costs to get in (don't forget to shove your swimmers+ a little sarong into your bag..) but worth every centimo....+ then when you feel refreshed+energised, jump on the no17 bus back into the centre (and the bus driver didn't even make us pay but not sure if that's normal or not....
feels a million miles away from the florence of the guide books.
I'm not one for shopping, but the market place in Florence is very nice and you can really find good stuff and not just crap. Especially leather goods. I bought a lamb skin leather jacket that was done in a European cut, for $125. It would easily sell for twice that in America. No joke. It is at least worth a look in my opinion.
Almost the whole time we were in Florence we walked to places we wanted to see. It's the best way to come across unexpected sights. :)
We used the buses a couple of times too and they were easy to use.
Where in Florence like in all Italian cities we can find Ice Creams shops and they are delicious, that nobody can denies. In this shop located in San Gimignano looks that they know that and they are sure his ice cream it’s the most delicious in the world.
