"Breathtaking Florence!" Florence by sue_stone

Florence Travel Guide: 5,082 reviews and 11,268 photos

Florence is a beautiful city which I have had the pleasure of visiting four times so far, my last visit being in Sep 2007.

It is the one place in Italy that I could envisage living in for an extended time, and is a great base to explore Tuscany.

    Thanks for the tip on La Ghiotta! I was in Florence today and found your tip last night. After reading it I knew I would love the place. The lunch was tasty with great atmosphere, no tourists around. Well, besides me of course, lol. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

    I was going to use www.trenitalia.it to book my tickets, but when I go to purchase the tickets it says my payment is denied when I put all my info in. I even tried using paypal plug-in but it didn't work. Any suggestions?

    Gorgeous updates here, but it looks like you are nowadays maninly travelling to Italy for the gourmet delights instead of the sights.
