Florence, Italy - Discover the Heartbeat of the Renaissance 💖

🌟 Florence, a city you can easily fly into from Zurich, is a treasure trove of history, culture, and stunning architecture. Initially, I underestimated its charm, but soon I was surrounded by the genius of Michelangelo at every turn! It felt like stepping into the pages of my history books, but this time, the masterpieces were right in front of me. 🗺️ Here are the must-see spots I explored: 1. **Michelangelo Square** - A perfect start to soak in the artistic vibes. 2. **The Duomo di Firenze (Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore)** - An architectural marvel that leaves you in awe. 3. **Palazzo Vecchio** - Just across from Piazza della Repubblica, a historical gem. 4. **Uffizi Gallery** - Pro tip: Dive into its history and iconic works before you go. 📚 Inside, there's no signal, and trust me, the art can be overwhelming without a little background knowledge. 5. **Ponte Vecchio** - Follow your map and let the city guide you. Every few steps reveal a new scenic spot, with charming stalls lining the way. Unlike the UK and Switzerland, Florence is brimming with exquisite sculptures and paintings. 😍 While I might not be an art connoisseur, the sculptures here blew me away! Who knew stone could capture the human form with such grace and detail? The city buses are a breeze to use, with tickets allowing unlimited travel for an hour. #Italy #Florence #TravelGoals #SummerAdventures #ArtLoversParadise
