You can reach this place also by bike with the Bike Route del Trammino.

The main 'lungarni' are Mediceo, Galilei, Gambacorti and Pacinotti (the ones with the Ponte di Mezzo in the middle) and walking along the river here is really beautiful. You can see the facades of the ancient buildings (each very powerful family of the old republic had one building here). Especially fascinating at sunset time, the colours are often incredible.
