BILANCINO: LAKE OF TOSCANA

Bilancino: Lake of Toscana

During your stay in Florence, you can have an half day trip in the Mugello Area (north of Florence). There's a very beautiful lake called BILANCINO. You can go there for sunbaths, swimming, windsurf, trekking or fishing. The lake is just 30km north of Florence and you can reach the lake by car or by bus.

By car: Highway A1 Milano-Napoli, direction Bologna exit Barberino del Mugello.
My suggestion - take the via Bolognese (SS 65) throug Trespiano, Pian di S. Bartolo, Pratolino, Vaglia, Campomigliaio, Cafaggiolo, Ischietti - Lake of Toscana. It is 35km to reach the lake, but is a very panoramic and good for sightseeing.

By bus: Take the SITA bus to Barberino del Mugello. (bus stop next to the SMN train station in Florence).
