2 twentysomething Americans spent 2 months in Florence. Here are a few of our favorite spots to explore, cafes to work from, and day trips to consider.

Florence is a city I've missed ever since I visited. And the more times I go there, the more I love it. It’s a walkable town, where every corner invites exploration. Beyond the famous art and holy temples, the charm truly lies in wandering the streets, where you might stumble upon hidden gems—undiscovered Tuscan cuisine, or a lonely but influential museum or church. Please save and always check on this map and visit any of the cafes, restaurants, museums or parks when you are in a neighbourhood. And I also add small notes for each place so you can quickly find what I like about this place. Enjoy! BONUS - Two free guides: "My Real TravelSummary", & "Markets are distant lives".
