Convenient, sustainable and fun! Getting on the tram and letting yourself be transported to discover things to see in Florence allows you to visit less travelled (but no less Florentine) places you would miss if you stayed in the bubble of the historic centre. Let's start from the tram line T1 of Florence, which connects Scandicci (Villa Costanza) to the Careggi Hospital.

Here are the 5 best points of interest walking distance from the T1 stops (starting from Villa Costanza):

1. Acciaiolo Park and Castle – Resistenza stop

The Acciaiolo Castle, located within the park of the same name, built in 1300 and initially belonging to the Rucellai family and then to the Acciaioli, has preserved its original medieval characteristics. The castle has towers, Ghibelline battlements, two entrance doors, a city wall, a stone tower house and an eighteenth-century chapel. We recommend a classic stuffed schiacciata, even better if taken directly in Scandicci, to eat in the park!

2. Cascine Park – Cascine stop

The Cascine Park is the largest in Florence! The former Medici hunting and agricultural estate, with its vast lawns, shaded paths and views of the Arno, is the perfect place for a picnic or simply relaxing under the trees. Peacocks, pyramids, amphitheatres, racecourses… the Cascine are a true treasure to discover. We recommend visiting the park and then treating yourself to an aperitif or dinner at the Manifattura Tabacchi.
