This weekend I wanted to go back to Florence it was a long time since I took a trip to one of my favorite cities in Italy and so I saw that fortunately there are discounts for high-speed trains and so I have took advantage.
The luck of taking these fast trains is that in a short time you arrive close to the city center and therefore you can also take a day trip and that with the car it would be almost an impossible thing also because lately the traffic in Italy has increased exaggeratedly. .
I think that the first thing that strikes every tourist who arrives in Florence is Brunelleschi's huge dome that can be seen from afar and is truly impressive and even though I have seen it several times in my life, I always impress me a lot in front of this masterpiece.
il Duomo di Firenze It was truly built in an excellent way and is truly a masterpiece of Italian art.
Then I also looked for a panoramic point where to take some beautiful photos is the one I recommend is certainly Piazzale Michelangelo even if it was super crowded with tourists.
I also sneaked into an apartment building because I wanted to take this somewhat panoramic photo of the Ponte Vecchio, this famous bridge in Florence.
There near Ponte Vecchio there is a famous restaurant that we were lucky enough to try in the evening before returning home, and it has very high reviews, which is why we chose it.
This of looking at the reviews first is something I often do when I go for a trip to some important city so as not to get ripped off and I always check the menu first, which I also recommend to tourists arriving from abroad because unfortunately some people in Italy have the bad habit of being smart.
the first thing we had to eat was an appetizer of typical cold cuts from the area.
Then of course since we are in Tuscany we had a very good Florentine steak that practically melted in the mouth a real delight for the palate.
In the end as a dessert I recommend if you happen to be in the Florence area to try the delicious cantucci biscuits because here they buy them from a pastry shop that makes them in an artisanal way, and accompanied with good vinsanto they are delicious.
