The 295m hill town with the Etruscan amphitheatre and trattorias like La Reggia degli Etruschi, 20 minutes by bus 7 from Piazza San Marco.
Fiesole is the hill town above Florence, 295 metres up and twenty minutes from Piazza San Marco on bus 7. Trattorias like La Reggia degli Etruschi serve beside the Etruscan amphitheatre, with the whole city spread below. It is the classic escape lunch: same cuisine, cooler air, better view.
