We set off to explore the historic center of the city
The city of Florence is known as an open-air museum. Well, that’s true
At the Ponte Santa Trinita bridge, you can admire the sunset
We spend the night in Florence before the going the next day to Rome.
In order to enjoy the streets of the city of Florence before the rush of tourists, we leave our accomodation at 08:00.
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).
It is a belvedere with a beautiful view of the whole city of Florence:
We leave Florence to Rome for the rest of our road trip
