Florence (Firenze) is the capital city of the Italian region of Tuscany. It is the most populous city in Tuscany, with approximately 370,000 inhabitants. Florence is famous for its history. A centre of medieval European trade and finance and one of the wealthiest cities of the time, Florence is considered the birthplace of the Renaissance, and has been called the Athens of the Middle Ages.
When my Italian friends heard that I haven't visited Firenze they didn't loose any time-they booked the train tickets for the next morning and told me to pack my bags and be in the station in the early morning.
I went there with one Italian boy and a girl from Poland. Since it had been very hot for a very long time, it meant that there won't be any air in Firenze. It was super crowded, tourists everywhere! No air, no room, sweating like an animal...It was the perfect tourist-day!
The city was a-ma-zing!!! The building, the little details on the sealing, doors, windows...incredible. Every streets was offering something to photograph. The Polish girl had made a list of the things that we have to visit, so the Italian boy just dragged us around the city. We saw all the places we wanted and so much more! We even took the bus to the hills to have a look on Firenze from the top, it was...well I really can't put it into words. Words are not enough here...
Have a look yourself:
Oh Italy, why do you have to be so pretty?
