Fines in Tuscany Cortona in Tuscany


Dear Friends,

Today I give you some tips to get you fines evitéis that during your stay in Tuscany. For this reason, then find recommendations is important to note in this regard:

1 - Attention ZTL areas

When you find the sign that you are entering an area ZTL (restricted traffic area), immediately stop the car and take a step back. Almost all the old districts of major cities of Tuscany are ZTL zones. Upon entering the car will be recorded in your registration information through surveillance cameras and in less than a month shall receive a fine that the rental car company you will charge your credit card an additional amount for administrative costs .

Eye: Some areas are restricted traffic only during some specific periods of the year or only in some slots as you see in the image

2 - Beware of the blue areas

The blue areas are extra, so if aparcais in one of these areas will not forget to put the ticket because otherwise the fine is assured and that municipalities have many guards who gladly put fines .....

3 - Watch out for areas of "Autovelox." The static radar autovelox are usually found at the entrance to the villages and are usually well marked if you lend a little attention. The entry into the urban cores requires, as in Spain NOT exceed 50 km per hour. Other autovelox may be on motorways and fast roads, for example in the Siena-Florence is usually very busy.

4 - Care Highway. Most highways have a system called TUTOR controlling your average speed on motorways, in case of more than 120 km / h allowed shall receive a fine.

With all that we want to respect Italian standards you may have a pleasant holiday in our Tuscan land without penalties and no surprises in Visa to your home.

Sincerely

Nice Words To Put On Wedding Card

Thanks to Tuscan Sun Festival, and the movie " Under the Tuscan Sun ", Cortona, has been increasingly strengthening its carrying capacity and is today one of the towns of Tuscany better prepared to welcome tourists from all over the world each year come to visit the village.

If you find yourselves among the lucky ones who will visit Cortona during a stay in Tuscany, worth the climb to the city a couple of hours before dusk to visit the hermitage of San Francisco previously spoken of in another post.

Once Eremo visited and enjoyed this place of peace and serenity, you can retrace your steps and park at the gates of the city.

Cortona has 3 areas to park, the closest to Eremo is usually the most comfortable but depending on the day for parking in this area is often difficult.

Cortona

The walk can be done safely in an hour, because the town is very small, yet if you have time I recommend a visit to the Etruscan museum of the city where you can see one of the most beautiful collections of Etruscan art in Italy and learn a little about the history of this fantastic place.

If you have time for a snack (in Italy are usually made from 7 to 8 pm) I recommend a drink in the Bar Saletta (historical site of the city). For those wishing to dine in Cortona there are several places where you can enjoy traditional food such as Osteria del Teatro but unfortunately, as often happens in both areas of tourism, low quality and prices rise.

For lovers of night life, Cortona offers musical evenings in the Pub Route 66 where you can find mostly Italian and American art school that is in the same people who want to enjoy the nightlife of the city.

In conclusion I would point elsewhere in a longer visit should be visited:

- Chiesa di Santa Magherita;

This church is located on the highest point of the city to get there, follow the directions and need to drive. This beautiful sanctuary built in the thirteenth century surely deserves a visit, not only because the picture can be seen from the square, but also inside it, the photos you see below:

-Chiesa di San Francesco

built by Fra Elia in 1247, the same friar who built the basilica of St. Francis in Assisi (also worth a visit), much more baroque than the previous one is built on ancient Roman baths.

- Cortona Archaeological Park

Archaeological Park City also worth a visit as it is well maintained and a good guide can come to understand life , customs and art of the pre Romanesque people who lived in this area of \u200b\u200bTuscany before the Romans.

As always I hope it can help you to plan your vacation,

Sincerely

G.

Florence, Tuscany visit



Many of you who ask me about the capital of Tuscany, to see, to visit ... so I decided to do a post to help you find it all that soon viajereis to Tuscany.

First let me tell you that for those who have not particularly interested in museums, Florence , being a relatively small city can be seen in one day (calculated for the day to devote at least 8 hours) and can be enjoyed quietly with beautiful walks through the historic center.

First we will discuss how to get to Florence.

Florence, as most Italian cities, is a city built in a period in which the cars do not exist, so as they all have parking problems. For this reason advise against going to Florence by car. If you can not really give up your vehicle, then I would recommend is to find parking in the car park train station is undoubtedly the most central, spacious and comfortable to reach the city.

If you can give the car however, I advise you to get to Florence by bus or train. Florence was the capital of Tuscany and one of the major Italian cities, is excellently connected by public transport.

Once in Florence, taking as its starting point the train station (the bus is right next door) recommend follow the road that leads to the Cathedral of Santa Maria Novella is only 10 minutes walk from the station.

The visit to the Cathedral on the inside need not be extended if disponéis a long time, because really the beauty of the Duomo of Florence is more on the outside than the inside, so I advise you to follow the walk to the heart of the city and its incredible Signoria Square, the historic center of city life. The walk to Piazza della Signoria is very nice as walking will enjoy views of the palaces built during the Renaissance, a period of maximum splendor in the capital of Tuscany.

Once in Piazza della Signoria , You have to make the decision if you prefer to spend the morning Uffizi museum or continue walking. In the first case I advise you to book your tickets in advance by buying on line the portal of the museums of Florence to avoid very long lines lar. In case you do not be very fond of museums, I recommend you follow the walk to Ponte Vecchio (which is next to Piazza della Signoria) and from there directed to Palazzo Pitti.

Once in Palazzo Pitti will have the opportunity to enter one of the most beautiful gardens of the Italian Renaissance, but in this case bear in mind that to enjoy the gardens should devote at least a couple of hours.

At this point you should retrace your steps and walk to the Ponte Vecchio, but without crossing it, and continue your walk along the Arno river upstream until you reach the Ponte delle Grazie (the bridge thereafter), here you have it cross the bridge and enter the so-called Borgo di Santa Croce and if you have time to visit the Basilica of Santa Croce where some famous people are buried, such as Michelangelo or Machiavelli.

After visiting this beautiful cathedral you can go back to Piazza della Signoria and to reach out to Via dei Tornabuoni where you can devote yourself to do some shopping in the most beautiful and elegant shops of the city. In your tour of Via Tornabuoni, shall pass safely in front of the Palazzo Strozzi celebrity host usually exhibits very interesting, so depending on time of year that Florence visit it you will find one or other exposure. For current information you can visit the following link: Palazzo Strozzi.

Florence Your day is about to end but can not end without knowing the part of Borgo di San Lorenzo which is one of the most characteristic markets and most famous of the city. In this market than the typical T-"I Love Florence" you can also find many leather.

From San Lorenzo market, will arrive in a few steps to the train station, bus or car park so dear friends you can end your holiday in Florence in this way, knowing that in one day in Florence will have seen it largest city.

As always I hope these tips will be helpful to plan the best way to your visit to the always beautiful Florence!
