Let me just start by saying, Florence is not my favorite city. You talk to those who just 'looove' it, and then more who feel the same way as I just, eh. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice city, nothing WRONG with it, but it's just not as impressive as you hear, in MY opinion. For those that go to Italy once and Florence is a stop, they just rave about it. But for those who get to see more of Italy, they tend rank it as I do, eh. Florence has LOADS of museums if that's your thing. I got a little museum-ed out while studying abroad in college. Florence also has LOADS of shopping, if that's your thing. I don't travel Europe to shop. Florence also has LOADS of English speakers if that's your thing. DEFINITELY not mine. So really, if you want a recommendation about Florence, only spend a day there... or ask someone else!
To See:
*Michelangelo's David lives up to the hype - see it! It lives in the Accademia
*Ponte Vecchio - a picturesque bridge - worth a 4 minute walk
*Botticelli's Birth of Venus - lives in the Uffizi
*The Duomo
the Duomo, Florence
