    Visit to museums on first Sunday of month

    Free Sunday Buongiorno, I know that free Sundays sound wonderful - but there is ALWAYS a line to get into the monuments unless you get there super early. And it is forecasted to be way too cold for standing in line that early. One may think that there aren't a lot of tourists now because...

    Parking outside Florence

    Buongiorno, A few of my favorite parking lots are in these two articles. Three are just outside the ZTL zone, they are paid parking but very easy to get too and they don't take you too far into the city center so that you have to deal with a lot of traffic. Two of them are covered and, in...
