Florence city break 🇮🇹

#italytrip

Just got back from a city break in Florence, and it was absolutely amazing! This city is an art lover’s dream. We started our visit at the Uffizi Gallery, which costs about €25 to get in. It's totally worth it to see masterpieces by Botticelli and Michelangelo up close 🎨🖼️. Make sure to book tickets in advance to skip the long lines.

Afterwards, we headed to the **Duomo**, and climbing to the top of the dome was a highlight. The entrance fee is around €20, and the views over Florence from up there are stunning – you can see the red-tiled roofs stretching out for miles 🏰🌇. Wandering through the streets, every corner seemed to have a gelateria, so of course, we had to sample a few (or more) 🍦.

Ponte Vecchio was another favorite spot, especially at sunset. The jewelry shops on the bridge are fascinating, but the real magic is watching the sun set over the Arno River. We also took a stroll through the Boboli Gardens for a small fee of €10, which was a nice break from the bustling city with its beautiful sculptures and fountains.

Florence is perfect for a short getaway packed with history, art, and delicious food. I left with my camera full of photos and my heart full of memories!
