By Bus: Local bus is very effective
  • Tip Rating:
  • 'Mode': AROUND
    Category: Bus
    Getting TO/AROUND: If arriving by car, the best is to leave it in a hotel garage and use the local bus which cost one euro only for a ride in one direction. Besides, since it has privileged routes for bus only, it is more quicker then the car and can take you everywhere inside the historic centre of the town.

    By Carriage: Most romantic city tour
  • Tip Rating:
  • 'Mode': AROUND
    Category: Other
    Getting TO/AROUND: Exploring the city centre in the carriage is the most romantic way of course. Slowly and very comfortable it allows you to take the pictures during the ride. Besides, the coachman is very helpful in giving the informations regarding spots you're passing by. Though, it wont take you to Belvedere and across the Ponte Vecchio.

    By Motorcycle & Vespa: Easiest way for city tour
  • Tip Rating:
  • 'Mode': AROUND
    Category: Motorcycle
    Getting TO/AROUND: Riding the traditional Vespa is definetely the most easiest way for exploring the old core of the town.
    I took this picture for one reason only, remembering the jokes we made when travelling by cars from Ljubljana to Valeggio sul Mincio in occasion of European VT meeting in last May. Ursula - VT nick alusru - made jokes and showing us the way that women stands when having a certain needs. It is precisely the same pose.
