The local bus station, Piazza della Stazione, is located behind the train station in Florence. You need to have purchased your ticket before boarding. Passes can be purchased for an hour, 3 hours or 24 hours. Tickets can be purchased at newsstands and tabacchi shops, and must be validated once on board. (055 565 01).
A great way to see the many sights of Florence is to catch a Double Decker sightseeing bus at the Piazza della Stazione (train station). These buses are opened topped and feature an audio commentary of the sights. There are two routes, an inner city tour of most of Florence's historic sites and a longer tour (approx50mins) of the outskirts of Florence stopping at the beautiful hilltop village of Fiesole. Your ticket purchase allows you 24hours of travel which makes it an economical way to travel the city if you do not have transport. The inner city tour leaves every 15mins and the longer trip departs hourly. You are not required to book, just turn up at the stop at the train station.
