Make the Area Archeologica your first stop. A pretty site to stroll, the archaeological area ensnares an Etruscan temple (Fiesole was founded in the 7th century BCE by the Etruscans), Roman baths, an Archaeological Museum with exhibits from the Bronze Age to the Roman period, and a 1st-century-BCE Roman theater where live music and theater is performed during the Estate Fiesolana.
A combo ticket covering Archaeological Area, Museum and the neighboring Museo Bandini is available for €12/8.
