You can stroll or run in the park, you can play tennis or do rowing across Arno as I've done. I love Dragon Boat!

Very nice place near to the river Arno. Easy to reach, it is a nice and wide area where it is possible to spend a half day in peace. There are games dor kids, so it is possible to bring them in safe space. It is possible also to go with the bicycle. Near to the area there are some nice restaurants es. La Piazzetta. During spring time is perfect: bring your favourite romance and ... jave a nice day...
