Florence from above. Alleys, gardens and views

A couple of hours are enough to escape the bustle of the crowds and, through rustic alleys and gardens, get to the old city walls that will eventually lead us to the highest points in town. 

In this walk you will be able to visit the best preserved church in Tuscany, and enjoy breath-taking landscapes of the whole city from the legendary Piazzale Michelangelo. 

BEWARE: it's a lightly demanding walk, with a couple of hills up and down that require a bit of effort.
