Don’t forget about the wine windows! Was such a hidden treasure to find on my trip 😊

@DandyDaniP Absolutely, the wine windows are indeed a hidden treasure! 😊 I'm planning a full video on this in the future. Stay tuned! 🍷🎥🌟

Great video. I went to Florence in August this year. It was indeed raging hot, 40 Celsius +, but that didn’t adversely impact our visit. We stayed in Florence for 10 days, in a Airbnb just off Piazza St Marco - superb location. We flew into Pisa and got the train to Florence. We spent many days exploring Florence and still didnt see everything. Also visited Rome twice by train - 90 mins journey time. We went back into Pisa to see the tower. The food everywhere was absolutely fabulous and was offset by all the walking we did. Wonderful place.

Great information! We’ve visited Firenze 5 times in the last 12 years, more recently for two weeks and a full month. Gregor has really done an excellent job with his overview and suggestions. All of them are spot on. Great to hear your recommendations for the Santa Croce and San Niccolo areas - far enough away from large crowds yet offering great restaurants, bars, shopping and living like an Italian.

1,50 for the tram T2, last stop right at S.M Novella!! It's the same ticket for the bus system, so if you are already planning on buying a lot of those, I suggest the app at bus, the official one where you can get packs of 15 ticks for a cheaper price than many individual ones!

We visited Florence in June 25!! It was packed because of the Saint Festival. We enjoyed the visit but for me was too much people around. I follow up with your suggestions, we stayed at an AirB&B just a few steps from the Pitti Palace, we travel from Venezia to Bologna and then Florence. We stayed 5 days and has plenty of time to visit the principals museum’s and churches. And visited Pisa, too. It was great!! The Insurance recommendation is a must!! Staying there our son got sick, but because of the insurance we did an appointment with a doctor and get some prescriptions and he did just fine!!👍🏼

I'm gonna make a list of the top free things to do

There's a restaurant on the top hill in Florence that is very good for dining with amazing view over the whole city. Price is reasonable ad wine in Florence is so cheap. Coming back soon in a few weeks. Even I go each time for 3 weeks visiting europe countries, I still pack only one carry-on and carry all my essentials, passport, glasses, credit card, sunscreen..,. in a fanny pack across my shoulders to avoid pickpocketing . Very important to feel free and light to enjoy the vacation and be alert the surrounding

What about driving to Firenze? Where is the best place to park?

@GregorBrown

2 ай бұрын

Driving to Florence 🚗? For hassle-free parking, consider using one of the many "Park & Ride" lots located on the outskirts of the city and then hop on public transport 🚌 to get into the heart of Florence. The Piazza Michelangelo also offers a great parking spot with a stunning view of the city 🏰, but it can get crowded!

The Power : Clan Medici --> Ordine dei Cavalieri Templari --> H.Q dell'Ordine dei Cavalieri Templari a Londra ( The Crown ) --> City of London .
