The city is also accessible by rail or by road. You can walk from one end of
the city center to the other in about 30 minutes. There are numerous city tours
available that will take you to some or all of the attractions in the city. Florence
can also be the starting point of a number of day trips. Most recommended is
one to Pisa, where one can see the
world famous leaning tower.
