Traveling for a weekend to Florence, we made a quick stop at Pisa – obviously to see and climb famous leaning tower. The tower turned out a bit smaller than I expected, but it was surely leaning over more than it should 😉 . Our destination was Florence, with a convenient hotel at the centrally located Piazza Signoria. From there we could walk to all the famous highlights, nicely skipping some queues with our Firenze card. The number of sights in a short distance if unbelievable – the cathedral, the David, the Uffizi, just to name a few. Of course we also greatly enjoyed the Italian food: a local menu with different dishes, a Florentine steak, and of course a good share of meat platters and red wine 🙂 .
