Florence, Always A Favorite!

Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, Museo Archeologico, Accademia, and Uffizi.

Florence is always a great place to visit with a large amount of historical sites to see and many things to do. There were hardly many tourist but I can imagine how flooded the city can get during the summer, it must be hell. I experienced most of the typical tourist attractions and really enjoyed the time spent in the city. During this portion of the trip me and Sarah decided to spend time to ourselves and at the end of Florence both understood that we needed to venture on our own. Florence offers beauty, great food, art, and its definitely a place everyone should see.

Florence Recommendations

Ostello Monaco | www.ostello.it
This hostel was fun for a backpacker. It was very basic accomodations with dorm style bedrooms. For a small budget and since I was mostly walking the streets, this hostel was great and I would recommend it if you are backpacking. However, if you are looking for something more exciting and luxurious I wouldn’t stay here.
