However, It is also a good base to explore the exquisite beauty of the Tuscany. There are beautiful places in the surroundings and having a car will give you the freedom to stop and explore as you wish. My favourite places are Lucca, Arezzo and Pistoia.

The central city is difficult to navigate on anything but two feet. But the little buses are pretty good, and there are stops in enough places to make the historic center navigable if needed.

It's cheaper than renting anything, & you don't need to worry about navigating. The city's also in the midst of a building project to put a tram in the historic center (not without controversy), so that could also prove to be a handy option eventually.

I agree that renting a car while there is not a good idea. I would add that it is smart to be wary of mopeds when you are walking around, as they tend to fly around corners! My sister got hit by one when I was there as a kid.
