Florence Romance Travel Tips

By Eric Lindberg
  • Many tourist restaurants in the historic district offer mediocre food at high prices. Venture out to adjoining areas such as the Santa Croce neighborhood and you'll find authentic cuisine at better prices, in places where Italians go to eat.
  • Lines for major museums such as the Uffizi Gallery are long in summer and at Easter, with waits of up to four hours. For four euros, you can pre-book a ticket through many hotels and B&Bs, or by telephoning Firenze Musei or visiting one of its information desks. With ticket in hand, you'll avoid the long queues and enter much more quickly.
  • Standing and ordering at the bar in caf és is often cheaper than being seated and ordering from a table, where prices can be three to four times more expensive.
  • To avoid crowds and tour groups at Boboli Garden, the Duomo, and other popular attractions, plan your visits around opening hours or the end of the day.

Florence Romantic Travel Guide

Cradle of the Renaissance and home to some of the world's finest art, Florence is forever linked with architectural splendor and the pursuit of artistic ecstasy. Located along the banks of the Arno River and blessed with a riveting skyline of domes, towers, and red-tiled rooftops, the city is a living museum where you can get happily lost along ancient streets, sip cappuccino together in Old World cafes, and join Florentines in their endless quest for la dolce vita, the sweet life.Read More
