Reviews Florence

Overall rating 8
Overall Guide :
Do not miss the Ponte Vecchio with its jewelery: although most of it is to look at but not to touch, it's fascinating. What can I say the Uffizi, the Pitti Palace, the Cathedral and Santa Maria Novella? For those... more who don't love art, they don't need to worry, Florence is also full of science and nature museums, seeing is believing.

Overall rating 9
Overall Guide :
FLORENCE IS A VERY BEAUTIFUL CITY, YOU NEED AT LEAST 2 DAYS TO SEE IT PROPERLY. IF YOU WANT TO GO TO THE UFFIZI, YOU SHOULD BOOK AHEAD IN ORDER TO AVOID HOURS OF QUEUING TO GET IN. YOU HAVE... more TO TRY A FLORENTINE STEAK AND A LAMPREY SANDWICH, SOLD BY STREET VENDORS ...

Overall rating 10
Overall Guide :
The whole city is wonderful, I recommend the view from San Miniato al Monte, you can see the whole city, it is a view to die for. The Boboli Gardens are worth visiting,. Also enjoy a wonderful "fiorentina", there is... more a wide price range, you eat well in "trattorie" and the prices are right.


Overall rating 10
Overall Guide :
Florence is small, but at the same time there are many things to see. So I recommend you make a programme of your holiday so that you don't waste any time and always stay close to the Duomo! A map... more is very useful for exploring Florence and experiencing your 'Renaissance'!
