anchor: Just 8 km (5 miles) northeast of Florence, 30 minutes on the number 7 bus from the Duomo or Piazza San Marco, the road winds up a wooded cypress-studded hillside, revealing at each bend ever-changing views of Fiesole's gardens and historical villas and the monuments of the great Renaissance city below.
positive: The bus ride up the hills to the northeast of Florence is full of stops offering marvellous views.
negative: There are no roads leading up the hill from the city below.
