Will a weekend in Florence be enough for us to really discover it? I'm a bit biased, but in my opinion, spending 3 days here is the perfect way to get a taste (in every sense) of this Italian Renaissance gem. Our journey begins in the heart of the Tuscan capital, where every corner tells a story. From the majestic Piazza del Duomo, with the imposing Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, Giotto's bell tower and Brunelleschi's dome, to the Ponte Vecchio, all the way up to Piazzale Michelangelo and enjoy the most beautiful view in all of Florence. We will be overwhelmed by art, history, and, of course, delicious local cuisine: a pasta cooking class, walks on the most iconic bridges, and breathtaking views will accompany us throughout the weekend. Florence is waiting for us!

Ciao e a presto, Marica šŸ‘‰šŸ» About me! My name is Marica (she/her; they/them), I'm 30 y/o and live in Rome, Italy. I have a MA in Global Studies and a BA in Anthropology, so as you can imagine, I'm very passionate about culture, languages, and traveling. I work as a freelance content writer, travel designer, and tour leader - so yeah, we can say that I have the "wanderlust"!

šŸ›Œ Details about the accommodation The accommodation for this trip will be an apartment or a hotel, depending on availability. I'll try to book rooms with twin beds. However, please note that it might not be possible (again, it all depends on availability), so you will need to share a comfortable double bed with your tripmates. Any questions about the trip? You can let me know in the Q&A section!

Trip Itinerary
1

Piazza del Duomo

Day 1-2
Welcome to Florence! Check-in at the hotel/apartment in Florence is by 5 pm. Our journey will start from the heart of this wonderful Renaissance city. To immediately get into the Florentine mood, we will enjoy a traditional Tuscan aperitivo accompanied by a good glass of Chianti... this is enough to feel like a true Florentine already! If you happen to arrive earlier, let's connect and organize something together!
2

Piazzale Michelangelo

Day 2-3
Florence in a day: art, history, and breathtaking views! We leave immediately for a quick breakfast in one of the many cafes in the area and are already ready to immerse ourselves in the beauty of this unique city. There's nothing better than exploring Florence following an expert guide who will disclose to us all the secrets of its highlights. From the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, with its iconic Brunelleschi dome, to the Piazza della Signoria with the stunning Palazzo Vecchio and the Loggia dei Lanzi, this morning is all about discovering Florence. After a typical lunch, we continue towards Ponte Vecchio. Crossing this bridge with its jeweler's stores is an experience to be had. From here, we make our way to Piazzale Michelangelo (get ready to walk uphill!), where we relax with the panorama of the city in front of our eyes.

Santa Croce

Day 3
This is our last day together, and we cannot but end with a bang! Are you ready for a fantastic pasta cooking class? Because I am! We will taste the fruits of our labor for lunch. Then, depending on when your flight/train back home is, we can decide together how to spend the remaining hours of the trip!
