How to Get from Rome to Florence
If you asked me what my favourite main character moment was this year, I would say it was finishing an exam at 1:00 PM in Rome and catching a FlixBus to Florence at 3:00 PM. After my first FlixBus experience to Matera (which you can read about in my previous post), I was fully in my budget travel flow. I decided to spend a day in Florence, a city I had visited as a child but never as a solo traveller. The city’s history and beauty, combined with its proximity to Rome, made it the perfect budget travel destination for me.
