• Some more Florence

    November 27, 2024 in Italy ⋅ 🌧 15 °C

    Today I explored the capital of Tuscany for the first time in daylight. Firstly I went to the Ufizi galleries where I finally realised I'm not as much of an art person as I thought I was because I was in and out in 50 minutes. After, I went to the best pizza shop in Florence (according to some awards and a YouTube channel). It was actually fantastic tho so no complaints here. I even ate with a knife and fork, (which is really hard btw) so props to me. Later, I headed to Palazzo Pitti and trusted my gut and completely skipped the art museum section and went straight to the garden. I'm glad I did because I loved it. It offered great views of the city and some excellent landscaping. Later, I headed to Vivoli's which is according to many, the best gelato place in Florence (that's open on a Wednesday). Tbf I had the best Affoghato I've ever had so maybe it being Wednesday was lucky. Because for some reason I wanted to climb more stairs I chose to climb 416 up the bell tower for the Duomo, which was a small price to pay when compared to the actual price of admission. (YOLO). For dinner I had Gnocchi Ragu at the same place as last night because it was only 15 euros for wine, water, a main and a side dish. This Tuscan part of my journey has really blown me away. It's stunning beauty and delicious food has left me hungry for more.Read more
