That is a great idea -
I suggest you also check out this link which also is in a great position.

As for parking, depending on where you are coming from, I can vouch for the Villa Costanza parking lot right off of the autostrada. It...
Buongiorno,
Here are two suggestions in the city center:

Or you could look a bit on the outskirts, and save the trouble of parking in the center...
Getting a Car
Buongiorno,
If you feel comfortable using a bus, I see there is one pretty close to the B&B - however, do keep in mind that if you expect to be out late one of those evenings you will probably want to take a taxi home because the buses are not as frequent after about 8pm. - It...
Getting around
Buongiorno,
to start with your hotel is (Hotel Orto de Medici, Via S. Gallo, 30, 50129) is definitely in the city center.
Tickets on public transport (ATAF buses and Trams) last for 90 minutes - even if you change from a bus to a tram. (see this official ink for more details...
Free Sunday
Buongiorno,
I know that free Sundays sound wonderful - but there is ALWAYS a line to get into the monuments unless you get there super early. And it is forecasted to be way too cold for standing in line that early.
One may think that there aren't a lot of tourists now because...
Walking around Florence
Buongiorno,
One thing to know about Florence is that is very walkable! Even if it is a 30-minute leisurely walk from one place to another - there is so much to see and admire that you will not even notice the time.
From Piazza Mercato (close to Mercato San Lorenzo) to...
Getting to Florence
Buongiorno,
Personally when I flew into Pisa, I always caught one of the buses. It was always just so easy: get off the plane, grab your luggage and walk outside to the buses lined up on the right. Normally it took about an hour to get into the city and they left you right...
Checking out Boboli
Buongiorno,
It is 6:30 pm until daylight savings time which is definitely AFTER the 20th (october 27th).
Have a look at this article for more information about the Boboli Gardens.

Buon Viaggio,
Donna Denise
Buongiorno,
A few of my favorite parking lots are in these two articles.
Three are just outside the ZTL zone, they are paid parking but very easy to get too and they don't take you too far into the city center so that you have to deal with a lot of traffic. Two of them are covered and, in...
Buongiorno -
send me a personal message with your phone number (so I can whatsapp yo the results) the number you are trying to contact, your license plate number and if the disability permit has a code. I will try to call.
Buon viaggio,
Donna Denise
Catching the Bus
Buongiorno -
Looking at the map for the first location, it appears as if there are two main bus stops you can look at. One is about 100 meters from the apt and the other about 6-700 meters. The second has several connections which will take you into the city center and the...
Understanding Tickets
Buongiorno,
It can be a bit confusing (because everyone wants to take advantage of any discounts along the way!)
Free tickets - are obviously free - and one of the easiest ways is to go on the first Sunday of the month and the great thing,is that its not jus tthe Uffizi...
Free on the 1st Sunday of the Month
Buongiorno,
there are some (nasty) rumours - but as of now this is what is free on the first Sunday of the month:
https://www.visitflorence.com/florence-museums/list-state-museums-in-florence.html
and throughout Tuscany...
Getting around
Buongiorno,
Florence is very accessible by foot, since the major monuments and museums, churches and restaurants are all in a pretty concentrated area. If she can get around for 2 km - then she will certainly be able to manage the city center of Florence in small doses...
Staying in Florence
Buongiorno,
I am going to suggest that you start your search by reading someof our reviews for several locations in the city of Florence. We have personally visited these structures and offer ideas and suggestions about the location, organization and decor...
Making it perfect in Florence
Buongiorno,
There really are so many places to choose from in Florence - so I am going to limit my selection to either those I have visited personally or that I have worked with recently.

I like this...
Uffizi on a Free Sunday
Buongiorno,
To be very honest, I normally avoid the "big" museums on the free day only because it draws as many locals as visitors - so it has a tendency to be busier than busy. :p
I do know that the lines start early, so at least 30 minutes ahead of time even 45...
