Florence  (Tuscany: pop. 60,000 [ MAP ] 

In the historic center of Florence, everything is within walking distance; 30 minutes is the most you would have to walk to get from any point in the city to another However, Florence's transportation system is easy and efficient when you need to go outside of the center.

Bus tickets can be purchased at newspaper stands, tobacco shops ("tabacchi") and some cafés. You must validate all the bus tickets in the boxes when boarding the first vehicle and again after each transfer or you will risk paying a fine of about $100. Buses generally run from 6am - 1am, and schedules vary by route.   You can get a bus map at the ATAF (the local bus company) office across from the train station.
