The outskirts of Florence are perfect breading grounds for camping. Surrounded by the Tuscan hills and immersed in greenery it is an ideal environment for a relaxing vacation for couples, friends and family. Travelling and staying in camping sites has always brought me a different perspective of the place than travelling staying within the city in hotels.
Firstly, since one is located in the outskirts, you get to come across ancient monuments, towns and panorama that most of the people don’t get to see. Secondly, having a close contact with nature transmits something into you. Nature in their way gives an explanation of the logistics and characteristics of the area. Every place differs from the other and this make us more aware of what is around us other than the great achievements of mankind.
I’ll pin-point a couple of camping sites for you:
Camping Internazionale Firenze:
Located just 11 kms away from the the city center, a 20 min drive and has possibility to be reached both by train and by bus from the Santa Maria Novella station.
Once of the towns near by is a place most people miss out on. Its where the great polymath Leonardo Da Vinci was born. The town as Leonardo’s surname, is called Vinci. Recently the town has opened an interesting museum of which is also a study center of his work including potraying the public many of his inventions.
The campground offers a vast selection of lodging possibilities. House trailers with a capacity of a 6 people accomodation, pretty bungalows, trailers and various size camp sites are the options to choose from. For other camping offers click here. Good Day!
