We go for a tour in the historic center around the famous Cathedral « Santa Maria del Fiore ».
The place is perfect for admiring the city and taking photos
For breakfast, the « ToscaNino » café offers an exceptional view of the city (43°46’17.3″N 11°15’18.5″E).
The prices are reasonable and the view is wonderful, but you have to go there as soon as it opens to find a place with a beautiful view.
To continue our tour, head to the Central Market of Florence (43°46’35.2″N 11°15’09.9″E). It is a market full of colors, good smells and culinary specialties:
For lunch, we choose a well-rated restaurant. The « Matto Matto Pizzeria Grill Ristorante » is located at 122 Via Nazionale (43°46’41.0″N 11°15’11.0″E), a little out of the city center, but you can eat good meals and above all you are very well received. Prices for pasta and pizza in Italy are always acceptable: €35 for 3 people!
We finished our walking tour of the city. Before leaving Florence for Rome, we pick up the car and head to « Piazzale Michelangelo » (43°45’46.9″N 11°15’54.2″E).
