Florence: History and Culture Vacation

Florence is one of the most breathtaking cities in Italy. It's rich history makes every corner and alley feel magical. It is built like a labyrinth and everywhere you turn there's something new to discover. From the beautiful cathedrals to the world renowned museums, Florence is a history buff's dream come true. My favorite way to spend a day in Florence is walking along Via Gioberti and watching what lovals here do. They live life at a slower pace than most. Leisurely going for lunch after a siesta and continuing the positive energy into the afternoon. Once the sun starts to set you'll see the city come to life. Everyone will meet for "Aperitivo" which is when you get some drinks and restaurants offer snack buffets with them. Florence also offers world class shopping where you can visit the some of the most luxurious fashion houses and storefronts along Via de'Tornabuoni. In juxtaposition to this you can also find cheap leather goods and clothing along many streets where you can haggle for goods and vintage items. If you're into artisanal and one of a kind items don't miss out on Piazza Santo Spirito. Overall, a trip to Italy wouldn't be the same without visiting Florence and experiencing the magic that gave way to artists and writers like Dante and Leonardo DaVinci. #historicculture#museumquest#roadtrip#unforgettableexperiences#summervacation
