"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.

This sounds like a wonderful city to explore. Thanks for your tips. I better save my money for cafes and shopping for our trip here in October.
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!
Thank you very much for a great deal of useful tips most of which are now in my Florence trip planner :-) Your page is a real treasure!
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?
I am leaving in 2 weeks for Italy. I would love to buy leather goods however how can you tell if the merchandise is of quality or not? Thank you ever so much. Thank you also for the San Lorenzo market i shall visit for sure! Sonia15
I can't believe I'd previously missed this excellent page! Great photos of the city, wonderful restaurant tips as always, and shopping ones too. Florence just climbed higher up the wish-list ;)
I love that cute little blue car! Excellent page with very good accomodation tips :)
hi Sue, am here in Florence for the first time!Internet so slow cant do much for now other than a quick minute but will come back later to enjoy your page.
Gorgeous updates here, but it looks like you are nowadays maninly travelling to Italy for the gourmet delights instead of the sights.
Hi Sue - Terrific pages on Florence. We're heading there in May and I can't wait. I've saved many of them to help build our itinerary. Thanks again for sharing.. Tom
