Fiesole

Verdant parks | Tuscany, Italy

Often called Florence's best-kept secret, Fiesole sits in the cypress-dotted hills just 8km northeast of the city, and yet it feels like a completely different world. This quiet Etruscan town predates Florence by centuries, and the remarkable Roman archaeological site at its heart. A well-preserved amphitheatre, thermal baths, and temple ruins dating back to the 1st century BC, are among the most underrated ancient sites in all of Italy. From the Piazza Mino da Fiesole and the terraced gardens that spill down the hillside, the panorama over Florence and the Arno valley is simply extraordinary, the city's iconic dome and bell tower rising above a sea of terracotta rooftops with rolling Tuscan hills stretching out beyond. The cool hilltop air, lush green parks, and almost complete absence of crowds make Fiesole a favourite among locals who know exactly what they have, and a genuine revelation for visitors who make the short trip up from Florence.
