📝 Travel Reviews & Guides

Florence is a city that's easy to enjoy on foot, so it's perfectly possible to combine all the major attractions into a single day.

Our first stop was the Basilica di San Lorenzo. The Medici family's church, with its grandeur extending all the way to the funerary chapel designed by Michelangelo, was truly impressive. The gray marble columns and refined interior provided a sense of calm even during our hectic travels.

Next, we climbed the Duomo bell tower, Florence's landmark. Climbing the 400-plus steps in the pouring rain was challenging, but the panoramic view of Florence from the top was truly unforgettable 🏞️. The hazy sky was strangely mystical, and the endless red rooftops, as if the Middle Ages were unfolding beneath, were so breathtaking that even a photo couldn't capture it all.

Our next stop was Il Papiro, a traditional Italian stationery store. I bought a small diary here, and it was the perfect palm-sized item to take notes with a pen while visiting the museum. ✍️. It was more than just a souvenir; it was a special way to record my trip.

Finally, we visited the Mercato Centrale, a vibrant market filled with locals. The first floor was filled with cheese, cured ham, truffles, and other groceries, while the second floor offered a variety of food options, much like a food court. 🍝 I unwinded with a panini and wine, and it was a perfect way to experience the local atmosphere.





💡 Travel Tips
• Be sure to purchase a **Pass (Cupola + Campanile Combination Ticket)** and reserve a time slot online before visiting the Duomo Bell Tower. Buying it on-site often means long lines and limited access times.
• At **Il Papiro**, a palm-sized diary is perfect for taking notes at the museum. Handmade cards and stationery are also popular souvenirs. ✍️. • The second floor of Mercato Centrale is especially lively in the evenings, and offers a variety of local Italian dishes at reasonable prices. 🍝 However, there are many pickpockets, and I've had close encounters with them, so always carry your bags in front of you and be careful with your valuables. ⚠️ ⸻

👍 Reasons to Recommend
1. Experience Florence's history, art, and daily life in one day.
2. A well-balanced itinerary that includes attractions, shopping, and food.
3. A truly rewarding trip with souvenirs to commemorate your trip.
