Sometimes the movement into the city traffic can be an adventure, mainly for who doesn’t know the area.

Have you arrived in Pisa with the airplane and don’t you know how to reach the city of Florence?Are you into the Milan’s station and don’t you have an idea of how to reach your hotel?Would you like to rent a bike or a car, but don’t yuo know from where to leave and how you have to spend?

Finally, we collected some useful hints to learn how to move into the big cities’ caos. Often, the information is limited and/or confused, the solutions to arrive in a sight can be varied, and the same citizens sometimes don’t know all the easier and faster ways to reach a place.

We have always addresses to foreign people, since the birth of our first web site (About Florence), we have always tried to pay great attention to this theme. During the time, the single page dedicated to transports in Florence has turned into a real section, made of information, advices and useful addresses to move without troubles.
