Before you plan going to Florence for the first time make sure you've planned at least two full days for this city. Don't do like me and don't hurry to see ten cities in a week :) On the first day take the map and take the general tour of the city, not entering long lined churches or museums - do make a reservation for the next day for the Ufizzi Gallery (vis-a-vis of the line you will see at the entrance there is the reservations desk). Explore and check the details. For a better impression about Florence you might want to consider three days, or else you will need to return soon to check out what you have missed :)

Great Florence page. I was in Florence in Dec.06 & I had a great time. What chinese restaurant in Vienna were you talking about?
Wonderful page, tips, photos! You'll need to return. I say that after 3 visits. Thanks for the b-day wishes, it was for michaela, she turned 2. How's the recovery coming? Saluti di Italia Jon
Very nice page on Florence, one of my favorite cities. I've spent about 8 days in Florence and still haven't seen everything there is to see. I guess that's good, it gives me a reason to go back :)
This is a splendid city, with many historic buildings, and art treasures. Your page shows, all this lovely sides of this place. Best regards from Vienna! Gabriela
Great job, Codrut! This is an excellent page with fantastic pictures and detailed information. Florence deserves indeed more than a day. As in most of the cities in Italy every corner brings you something new (no. 14 for example...).
