Please check out other VT sites about Florence.There is written already so much about these place.My opinion is:too crowded,too expensive,less cosy.(But still a must to see it;go at 6 am)
We stayed north of Florence at a little town called FIESOLE.It lies on a hilltop with a outstanding view over Florence.Here you will find also Roman and Etrusk ruins. Leave a Comment

This is really one of the most beautiful places you should visit.For all the information about this city you can enjoy the Florence page of our VT friend SERGIUZ.
We tried the bruschetta's at the ANTICA TAVERNA and I want to say;thanks Serguiz for this info:it was the best. Leave a Comment

From this place there are also enough sites on VT. Go early if you want to enjoy this place.Then the CAMPO (central place)is yours and you can take some beautiful pics of this famous spot.
TIP:take the covered parking of San Francesco at the north of the city.Here you take the automatic stairs up into the city.
Visit of course the CAMPO ,the PALAZZO PUBBLICO with the TORRE DEL MANGIA,the DUOMO.Try to be here in early July or August when they play the famous PALIO (horse-ridings) on the central CAMPO.(You need to book in advance for over a year.) Leave a Comment

Between Florence and Siena lies this famous wine region,with tiny villages,outstanding views,a lot of hike and bike possibilities.
GREVE
Greve is a typical example of medieval urban planning.It was built around an ancient castle dating back to the 11th century and has an asymmetrical square typical of Tuscan marketplaces.
MONTEFIORALLE
It is situated on a hilltop facing the Greve valley,surrounded by vineyards,olive groves and cypresses.Parts of the ancient walls are still visible,while the small streets are marked by old homes,a donjon,and several towers.With the fall of the Sienese Republic,Montefioralle lost its prior importance.
PANZANO
This village is situated in the very heart of Chianti.The castle still has its original tower dominating the surrounding landscape.Near the castle we admire the church of S. Maria Assunta,some ancient houses,a small squareand a picturesque arch.
CASTELLINA
Castellina is situaded on the ridge that divides the valleys of Elsa,Arbia and Pesa.It offers a splendid view.We can still admire tha medieval structure surrounded by the curtain walls.We advise you to visit the typical streets and particularly the Via delle Volte,an underground passage,which is an authentic piece of jewellery.
RADDA
It lies in the heart of Chianti,on a hill dividing the Arbia and Pesa valleys.The town became the seat of the Chianti League in 1415,whose vassals wore the Black Rooster insignia,today the trademark of the Chianti Classico Consortium.It was often scene of battles between Siena and Florence.
VOLPAIA
A small village on a hilltop north of Radda.Built in the twelfth century,as testified by the elliptical layout,tower and walls.A powerful donjon,numerous medieval buildings and a marvellous 15th century church,are situated near a small square, close to an old well.
MONTERIGGIONI
(see pic above)I advise you to visit this small town of a typical medieval origin and atmophere,surrounded by twelvth century curtain walls linked together by fourteen towers.It was built in 1203 as a stronghold against Florence.Inside the Borgo there are many shops of Chianti wine and typical stores.
