    Fun fact : the Verrazzano mentioned in the video is probably the same as the Verrazzano bridge in New York City, named after Giovanni da Verrazzano. He was probably the first European in New York Bay in 1524 and he actually was from Tuscany, just outside of Florence.

    You need to watch out for pick pockets while walking around the area. Beautiful place otherwise.
    Visit the shop where Michael Angelo made the statue of David, the front door has two light blue/white flags hanging on top.
    Order a diavolo pizza when you get hungry and a Peroni beer, you'll enjoy it

      @@TheTourGuyVids Ciao Colleen I had the advantage of spending a magic month in Florence...did a 4 week course on Art History at the Medici Institute and spent the weekends exploring nearby Tuscany and wore out a pair of shoes on the footpaths of Florence. Also had a magic train trip to Venice. When boarding the train the best tip from a fellow traveller was sit in the restaurant car instead of trying to find a seat elsewhere...don't know if this is still OK. It was funny stepping out of the station at Venice in the rain and of course water at your feet.
      In Florence a great place to stay is The Gould Institute in the Oltrano...would love to go back but the idea of a long haul plane flight is offputting. When younger I worked for an Italian company so have great memories of Genoa, Naples, Sicily and Malta. Despite the funny hiccups that usually occur Italy is a magic place for a holiday and just always see the funny side of things Cheers Bev

    Train station advice--arrive 20 min in advance. On my way back to Rome from Capri, I arrived one hour early at the Napoli station. Or so I thought! Some guy grabbed my baggage and went running. I followed him. To the trena. Moral of the story is the island of Capri is a different time zone than the nearby city of Napoli. I tipped the guy the last 10 euros I had to my name. I had no more money left for Roma, just my ticket back home.

    The Ponte Vecchio originally housed members of the butcher's guild. It was one of the Medici (Lorenzo I think) that drove them out and replaced them with jewelers and goldsmiths. The Medici also had the hidden passage constructed above the shops connecting the Pitti Palace with what's now the Ufizi. I think there's the self-portrait gallery of artists in the passage (I think! Someone correct me if I'm wrong!)

    just came home from a short vacation in Italy that ended early since the rented house had bedbugs.
    - we did manage to stop by florance and did walk around the town to some of these locations.
    we skipped the food and iceshops since it is soo expensive in the turist areas.
    We parked the car in : garage nazionale and you are in one step away from the Mercato Centrale.
    The city is nice but there are just to crowded to enjoy the place, you allways walk around in a noise and once you stop people are running by to get to the next location, and the locations are crowded with no room to stand and enjoy the place.
    Also if you want to visit the museum and other attractions, you are getting ripped off good. Also, do not visit restaurants or buy ice, when there are no prices on the menu.. you are getting ripped.
