5 must see in Florence
February 18, 2009
… more than 5, but here I just want to give you an idea about our magnificent city, even if your stay is short.
The location of Mr My Resort is very convenient and full of important historical gems at a walking distance.
First of all, the David by Michelangelo, in the Academy Gallery, right 5 minutes walk from our bed and breakfast. If you want to save time and avoid long lines in the street, we offer a free reservation service for the main florentine museums, such as the Uffizi, with its Venus by Botticelli.
After the Academy, you can easily reach the Duomo and the Baptistery; here you can visit the top of the dome with its gorgeus view of Florence city and the tuscan hills (after 463 steps…).
In case you have to wait too long for the dome, you can visit the Museum of the Cathedral Works (Museo dell’Opera del Duomo), with sculptures by Michelangelo and Donatello.
Don’t miss the Old Bridge! I always forget I’m walking on seven-hundred yrs old stones…
Last thing: bistecca.
The tuscan tradition wants you ask for a 1 kilo steak per person…
Ok, forget it and try to ask just for a half-a-kilo steak for 2, I’m quiet sure you will be hungry after a day of tours, museums, shopping, and with a good glass of red Chianti wine you will back to the B&B and sleep like babies…
