Other walks close to Oltrarno / Arcetri.

Sorted by distance from the start of porta romana up to pian dei giullari. Good for stitching together a longer day.

The quiet south-west hill Henry James loved, and the long view of the whole city from above.

A rusticated palace front, a terraced garden climbing the hill, and the view from the Belvedere edge.

Brunelleschi's plain-faced basilica, the morning square, and the workshops that still smell of glue and gesso.

The star fort above Boboli, the last long stretch of medieval wall, and the whole city below.
