Lourdes, thank you very much for your help while planning and executing my trip to Florence! After returning home, I’ve had time to think about our trip. We visited Florence, Pisa and Rome; Florence was by far my favorite city. It’s very much more laid back than Rome, more pedestrian...

I'll be heading to Rome in a few days from Florence via train, and we're going into Tiburtina train station instead of the main one. Does anyone know where I can purchase the 3-day metro/bus pass from there? I know machines sell them and you must have correct change. Do these machines accept...

How to get inside the busy galleries without standing in line for hours wasn't hard at all. We bought the Firenze Card - not a money saver, but definitely a TIME saver. We've been on a marathon for 3 days to pack as much into this card as we can. I've seen the lines outside some of the sites...

One more question (for now) My hotel has already told me I can save 10% by paying in cash instead of a credit card. I've read that it's better to just wait till I get there to get Euros -- local banks in the US "sell" Euros and charge a service fee. So I have about 150 euros to get into the...

My plans are about finished for my trip to Florence. Can you look over my itinerary and let me know if it's realistic please? I plan to purchase the Firenze Card, so I want to get the most out of it in 3 days - I know those will be packed days. Day 1, we arrive in Florence early on a Monday...

I'll be in Florence in July for 10 days. In those days, I'll be spending 3 days in Rome and 1 in Pisa. I have my train ticket and tour reservations already for Rome, and now I'm working on Pisa. Which train(s) goes to Pisa? I bought tickets on Italio for Rome, but it doesn't look like they go...

I really want to see Donatello's Saint Mark sculpture at Orsanmichele. I know the ones outside are replicas, and the original is inside the church in the museum. I read in a guide book that the museum is only open on Monday, but I can't find the hours. Is it 10-5, just like the church on...
