Transport: The best way to explore Florence is on foot; the city centre is
compact and traffic is restricted. There is a comprehensive bus
network (ATAF) operating from 5.30am to midnight, tickets valid for
60 minutes, which must be validated by punching them in a machine
when you board the bus. Tickets, and various bus passes, are
available at newsagents, automatic dispensers, coffee bars and on
board the bus. Taxis can be hailed on the street but they tend to
ignore this. Taxi ranks are to be found outside the train station
and most tourist sites. Additional fees are charged for luggage,
night and Sunday travel.
