  1. I love Florence.  Wish I was there now.....


  2. Florence is a beautiful city in Italy. <*-*>

    Things to see:

    Santa Maria Novella

    From its front view, the church of Santa Maria Novella is one of the city's most gorgeous buildings, and inside it has yet more fabulous Renaissance frescoes, by Uccello, Ghirlandaio and others.

    Bóboli Gardens

    For a break from the streets, take a picnic into the meandering paths of the Bóboli Gardens behind the Pitti Palace, before entering the city's number two art gallery.

    Brunelleschi's Dome

    What Masaccio did for painting, his contemporary Brunelleschi did for architecture; he created the cathedral's amazing dome, which offers a stunning view of the city.

    San Miniato al Monte

    Walk across the Ponte Vecchio and turn left to reach the marble-fronted church of San Miniato - the building itself is exquisite, and you get a classic view of Florence from its front door.

    Benvenuto

    Benvenuto looks more like a delicatessen than a trattoria from the street, but the groups waiting for a table give the game away; the gnocchi and arista are delicious.

    Santa Croce

    Santa Croce is a wonderful Gothic basilica containing superb frescoes by Giotto and others, with tranquil cloisters adjoining.

    The Uffizi

    The greatest art gallery in Italy - it's as simple as that.

    The Brancacci Chapel

    Encapsulating the dawning of the Renaissance, Masaccio's set of frescos in the Brancacci Chapel of the Carmini church is worth a visit, however long you have to wait to get in.

    Vivoli

    Vivoli serves up the finest Florentine ice cream; search it out in tiny Via Isola delle Stinche.

    Fiesole

    The little hill town of Fiesole is a great place from which to survey the city of Florence; and you'll get a taste for the more bucolic pleasures that await elsewhere in Tuscany.
