If you're an independent traveler with two days, one day or even only part of a day in one of the cities listed below, a great way to get around is the classic red London-style double-decker bus that snakes through the historical and cultural center of town. If you purchase your ticket online, you can board the bus at any of the stops spread throughout the city. On board, your hostess will give you disposable earphones for an audio guide in several languages that include Italian, English, French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese and Russian. The buses follow up to five routes. Tickets become valid when you board the first bus and are valid for 24 or 48 hours on all routes, so you can get on and off as much as you want. Children 5-15 pay 50%; smaller children ride for free with their parents.
All buses are wheelchair accessible.
