Recommend going on the Hop on Hop off bus that goes out to the hill town of Fiesole. Also a great way to get to Michelangelo lookout. We only had a day and a half - would have loved more time to explore in more detail.

We were 'stuck' in Florence for an extra 2 weeks after our return flights to Beijing were cancelled to the Corona virus. What an amazing and beautiful city to be stuck in. Lucky us!
