🇮🇹 No One Can Resist Falling for Florence

Florence was my most anticipated stop in Italy - the romantic Piazzale Michelangelo, the divine Duomo, those iconic terracotta rooftops, and endless culinary delights. A day of wandering here left me utterly enchanted, though I'll need to return for that legendary Italian sunset romance... ✨ Florence Highlights 1️⃣ Duomo (Santa Maria del Fiore) • Arrived early with Giotto Pass (20€) for the bell tower climb ⚠️ Pro Tips: Dome tickets (30€) sell out fast - book 1 month ahead! Bell tower stairs are narrow (shared up/down path) but offer the best views of Florence + the dome itself 2️⃣ Piazza della Repubblica & Piazza della Signoria • Twin squares buzzing with statues (including David replicas) and fountains • Perfect for 30-60 min photoshoots 📸 3️⃣ Ponte Vecchio • Walked southwest from the squares to this iconic goldsmith-lined bridge • Golden hour = insta-magic! 4️⃣ Uffizi Gallery (Skipped but Recommended) 🎨 Prep with these docs: Masterpiece Analysis Ep2: Botticelli Florence & The Uffizi 5️⃣ Piazzale Michelangelo • Daytime: Panoramic views with fewer crowds • Sunset (7PM): Pure magic! Strangers singing, laughing, toasting as the sky burns orange - this is Florence's soul. 🚶♀️ Transport Tips • No metro - but walking is ideal • Avoid unreliable buses; trams are punctual but unnecessary #Florence #ItalyTravel #Duomo #PiazzaleMichelangelo
