Discover the most authentic and panoramic side of Florence on a relaxing 2-hour tour through the green hills that rise just outside the historic center. Starting near Porta Romana, you will travel by electric golf cart along quiet residential roads, tree-lined avenues, and scenic hillside routes, away from the busiest streets of the city center.
Your journey begins as you climb toward Arcetri, a peaceful district where nature and history blend beautifully. This area is closely linked to Galileo Galilei’s final years and offers open views of olive groves, vineyards, elegant villas, and some of the most charming and uncrowded photo spots in Florence.
The tour includes a special stop at the historic Trattoria Omero, a beloved Florentine institution since 1943. Here you will enjoy a traditional Tuscan tasting with a selection of cured meats, bruschetta, and a glass of Chianti wine. This break adds a genuine culinary moment to your experience, allowing you to savor local flavors in a warm and authentic setting on the hills.
After the tasting, the tour continues along panoramic roads toward the Piazzale Michelangelo area, Florence’s most famous viewpoint. Due to local access regulations affecting the UNESCO historic area, golf carts cannot drive directly into some restricted areas, including Piazzale Michelangelo.
For this reason, the golf cart stops nearby, in the Piazzale Michelangelo area, for example at the Piccolo Belvedere, a peaceful panoramic spot offering a beautiful view over Florence. From there, guests continue on foot for a short scenic walk, approximately 100 meters, to reach Piazzale Michelangelo and admire one of the most iconic views of the city.
Enjoy unforgettable views over the Duomo, Palazzo Vecchio, the Arno River, the Ponte Vecchio, and Florence’s historic skyline, with plenty of opportunities for memorable photos.
The return route to Porta Romana follows scenic hillside roads, giving you extra time to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and natural beauty of the Florentine hills.
Designed for travelers seeking a comfortable, slow-paced, and meaningful experience, this 2-hour panoramic tour combines landscape, culture, tradition, and gastronomy. It is ideal for couples, families, and anyone who wants to discover Florence from a completely different and unforgettable point of view.
