Overheard

“Massive crowds line up to see the huge church (Duomo di Firenze). To avoid the lines, go late, as crowds tend to subside by late afternoon.”

Rick Steves

“Remember to pace yourself. Allow time to wander and follow your whims, and ignore any pangs of guilt if you'd rather relax in a café and watch the world go by than trudge on sore feet through another breathtaking palace or church.”

Fodor’s Travel Guides

“Before booking your cruise, make sure the ship’s call at Florence is not on a Monday, when major museums and galleries are closed.”

Cruise Critic

“Vasari Corridor: A walk through this elevated passage, built for the Medici family in 1565, is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Book a private tour with Bravo Concierge.”
