Florence, Tuscany visit



Many of you who ask me about the capital of Tuscany, to see, to visit ... so I decided to do a post to help you find it all that soon viajereis to Tuscany.

First let me tell you that for those who have not particularly interested in museums, Florence , being a relatively small city can be seen in one day (calculated for the day to devote at least 8 hours) and can be enjoyed quietly with beautiful walks through the historic center.

First we will discuss how to get to Florence.

Florence, as most Italian cities, is a city built in a period in which the cars do not exist, so as they all have parking problems. For this reason advise against going to Florence by car. If you can not really give up your vehicle, then I would recommend is to find parking in the car park train station is undoubtedly the most central, spacious and comfortable to reach the city.

If you can give the car however, I advise you to get to Florence by bus or train. Florence was the capital of Tuscany and one of the major Italian cities, is excellently connected by public transport.

Once in Florence, taking as its starting point the train station (the bus is right next door) recommend follow the road that leads to the Cathedral of Santa Maria Novella is only 10 minutes walk from the station.

The visit to the Cathedral on the inside need not be extended if disponéis a long time, because really the beauty of the Duomo of Florence is more on the outside than the inside, so I advise you to follow the walk to the heart of the city and its incredible Signoria Square, the historic center of city life. The walk to Piazza della Signoria is very nice as walking will enjoy views of the palaces built during the Renaissance, a period of maximum splendor in the capital of Tuscany.

Once in Piazza della Signoria , You have to make the decision if you prefer to spend the morning Uffizi museum or continue walking. In the first case I advise you to book your tickets in advance by buying on line the portal of the museums of Florence to avoid very long lines lar. In case you do not be very fond of museums, I recommend you follow the walk to Ponte Vecchio (which is next to Piazza della Signoria) and from there directed to Palazzo Pitti.

Once in Palazzo Pitti will have the opportunity to enter one of the most beautiful gardens of the Italian Renaissance, but in this case bear in mind that to enjoy the gardens should devote at least a couple of hours.

At this point you should retrace your steps and walk to the Ponte Vecchio, but without crossing it, and continue your walk along the Arno river upstream until you reach the Ponte delle Grazie (the bridge thereafter), here you have it cross the bridge and enter the so-called Borgo di Santa Croce and if you have time to visit the Basilica of Santa Croce where some famous people are buried, such as Michelangelo or Machiavelli.

After visiting this beautiful cathedral you can go back to Piazza della Signoria and to reach out to Via dei Tornabuoni where you can devote yourself to do some shopping in the most beautiful and elegant shops of the city. In your tour of Via Tornabuoni, shall pass safely in front of the Palazzo Strozzi celebrity host usually exhibits very interesting, so depending on time of year that Florence visit it you will find one or other exposure. For current information you can visit the following link: Palazzo Strozzi.

Florence Your day is about to end but can not end without knowing the part of Borgo di San Lorenzo which is one of the most characteristic markets and most famous of the city. In this market than the typical T-"I Love Florence" you can also find many leather.

From San Lorenzo market, will arrive in a few steps to the train station, bus or car park so dear friends you can end your holiday in Florence in this way, knowing that in one day in Florence will have seen it largest city.

As always I hope these tips will be helpful to plan the best way to your visit to the always beautiful Florence!
