Trails between San Casciano, Florence and the Pesa

A municipal shuttle connects the main town of San Casciano with La Romola, traveling via Spedaletto, Chiesanuova and Cerbaia. It operates on weekdays on Mondays and Thursdays, as well as on Easter Monday. The Lungo la Pesa route leads from San Casciano via Via Empolese or from Florence via Via Volterrana to Cerbaia.

For planning your day, the shuttle days and the two road routes can be considered separately.
