Do you know The ITALY TOP 10 Travel Tips? 🇮🇹👍kzread.info/dash/bejne/mZV82KWBaarRcbg.html

From your opening 'definition'.... I'VE BEEN TO FLORENCE!! I absolutely LOVED the place. I'm 71 yo, from London, the Antico is in a street around the back of the Uffizi gallery. Queues everywhere, you need to have a really good idea what you want as service is manic, esp so if you don't speak Italian. Sandwich was AWESOME, as was the food everywhere. Cooking is made to seem so easy, but you know it's not: top quality ingredients, in season, minimal fuss, prepared with passion and yes LOVE. I ADORED this city.

Top "method" for breakfast in Florence if you want to fill up for a day of touring is to go to a grocery store... buy protein, fruit, cheese, etc and eat at your AirBNB before you venture out. Just my humble opinion after spending lots of time in Florence in the last couple of years.

Great idea for a video...But if you can't find one, I'll share what we've done many times in the last couple of years: Go to one of the local grocery stores or outdoor markets (you can find them via google map and many grocery stores to choose from in Florence). Then, buy lots of fresh veggies, meat, cheeses, pasta, eggs (boil the eggs for quick protein in morning), etc. Everything is fresh and meal prep took no more than 10-15 minutes, even for the six travelers I was with. The key is to buy fresh, throw everything on a plate and consume. My favorite meal is apricot jam, cheese, salami, on a slice of bread, fruit and veggies.@@nancyjohn3025

There is a famous Italian sandwich shop in my city, but they use a hard crunchy Portuguese bakery bun. There are always line-ups, the guys there are terrific, the cold cuts are without compare, but now I think they can try the sandwich with this softer bread. Schiatacciata Fiorentina. Looking at all this good food, I may have to go there for lunch

Florence is the city where I would move to if I ever leave the USA, it's hard for me to stay away. A couple of my favorite places. Ditta Artigianale on Via Dei Neri for coffee and for lunch just down the street Ristorante Del Fagioli. Also for a sandwich SandwiChic on Via San Gallo. I I put your recommendation in "Notes' on my phone, hope to visit some of these in October 2023.

Dear Mr. Gregor, good job. 👍 While in Florence, why don't you show the Teatro della Pergola, with the acoustical device made by the only real inventor of the telephone, decades before one Bell was born? I believe that the principal of the teathre would allow you to use it.🙂 Yes, i know, the electrical telephone ( "telettrofono" ) was made by Meucci many years after he built the device in the theatre, but i belive it'll be interesting as well. 😉

I just got back from my 2 weeks Italy holiday. I thought i share something about buying Gelato in Florence so unsuspecting tourists will not get overcharged like me. I was roaming around the Duomo & saw a Gelato shop along the main thoroughfare, Via Dei Calzaiuoli from the Duomo. This shop is about 2 shops from the Hotel Maxim Axial, closer to the Duomo side. I ordered a Gelato & was slapped with a 15 Euro bill for the standard 2 scoops. I had earlier ordered similar Gelatos in Rome near the Trevi Fountain & Spanish Steps for prices ranging from 4 to 6 Euros. And the Gelato i got from this shop was of poor quality. The lesson learnt here is if you are ordering food near tourist hot spots, always ask for the price so you don't get a rude shock like me. Ciao!

@GregorBrown

8 ай бұрын

Thanks for sharing your experience, and sorry to hear about the unexpected gelato shock! It's definitely a good tip for fellow travelers to be cautious around tourist hotspots. Some places, unfortunately, try to capitalize on the tourist traffic. Next time, I'll look for this guy and ask for prices. Hope the rest of your Italy holiday was fantastic despite the gelato hiccup! Ciao and safe travels!

I like to roam around on my own rather than join group tours, I watched your videos & they are a great help to my planning for my trip. Italy is beautiful & has lots of interesting sights to see. Even if i were to spend all my annual holidays in Italy, I would never be able to see them all. This is my third trip to see the places i omitted on my previous visits. By the way, I forgot to mention that I bought a pistachio gelato in Siena, it only cost 2.70 euros. Nothing like licking a gelato while watching the world go by sitting in a piazza in Italy.
