Has anyone been to Florence Italy lately?

Question

If so, what did you like most?

Answer 1

I have been to Florence many times - used to live about 2 hours from there.  Florence has many things to do, but I especially like the museums and the street vendors. There are certain days in which some of the piazzas are filled with vendors selling a huge variety of products - some not so good, others are great bargains!  I love to sit and people watch as the tourists come to see the Duomo. I love to walk along the Arno River and watch the rowers going down (or up) the river. I love sitting inside some of the churches and just imagining what it was like back in Michelangelo's day when he and others would be walking in the same spot. The Ponte Vecchio is a great place to shop, but the prices are higher than they have been in years.

My final thought:  Everything is fun to do in Florence!

Answer 2

Yes, and if you go you should take a side trip to Sienna. It's the best low-key place over there.

Answer 3

Never, but it would be fun to go!!!

Answer 4

Well, I work in Florence and live just outside. If I can help you somehow with info, tips or anything else, feel free to contact me or leave a post.

Answer 5

Yes, I especially like the walking tour of the city.  The guide pointed out a lot of little interesting things along the way as well as the history of Renaissance, etc...

And many other things... see a few pictures below.....

The bridge with all the jewelry shops was a surprise.  

The statue park is great and the cathedral is one-of-a-kind with its pastel exterior.  The outdoor markets with their leather and other goods are super places to shop.
