Ponte Vecchio

The Ponte Vecchio is one of the most famous bridges in Florence, and when you visit, you'll walk across this iconic bridge full of history, medieval buildings, and sparkling jewelry shops. The bridge consists of three arches and was built in 1345 by Taddeo Gaddi, replacing older versions from Roman times. Long ago, butcher shops lined the bridge, but the Medici family replaced all the shops with wooden shutters, goldsmiths, and jewelers to clean up the area. As you explore, look up to see the Vasari Corridor, a secret walkway the Medici used to move between Palazzo Vecchio and Palazzo Pitti. In World War II, it was the only bridge the Nazis didn’t destroy. In the middle, you’ll find a statue of Benvenuto Cellini, where you can leave a love lock like many tourists do—another reason to experience the charm of the Ponte Vecchio for yourself. Visit Ponte Vecchio to walk through history, enjoy the views, and create your special moment in Florence!

Fantastic 5.0
I had a wonderful stay at c-hotels Ambasciatori. The hotel was very clean, well maintained, and conveniently located just across from the train station, making it an excellent base for exploring the city. The room was comfortable, and everything was spotless throughout my stay. What made the experience even better was the staff. Everyone was welcoming, friendly, and always happy to help with directions and recommendations. Their warm hospitality made me feel at home, and I would definitely stay here again on my next visit to Florence.

Great 4.0
Convenient Transportation: The hotel is located near Florence's main station, just a 5-minute walk away, making it easy to travel to and from other cities. Breakfast: The room rate includes complimentary breakfast with a variety of breads, fruits, and coffee, which is quite good! Service: The hotel staff at the entrance were very friendly, and the check-in process was smooth. We arrived around 12:30 PM, and our room was already ready! When we returned to our room in the evening, they had even left a bag of Italian snack gifts for us! If you're traveling from Rome for an overnight stay in Florence, I definitely recommend this hotel!

The hotel is very easy to reach from the train station via tram, and the tram stop is right across the street. Having a supermarket next door was extremely convenient. The room was on the cozy/smaller side, but overall it was a comfortable and pleasant stay.

Easy to use, app is simple and provides good info on train routes etc. A bit pricey at first, but you if you don’t have definite plans and prebooked train tickets months before, will recommend getting this to avoid variable prices.

Bought the Trenitalia pass on Klook and got my e-ticket instantly. Activation was super easy and the QR code worked at every station from Rome to Venice. Trains were punctual, clean, and comfortable. Having unlimited travel saved me so much vs buying single tickets and let me do spontaneous day trips. Klook’s customer support was also responsive when I had a question. Best way to explore Italy by train!

Using a rail pass is convenient for travelers who haven't done their research, but most Eurail passes in Italy require mandatory reservation fees, starting from 13 euros per segment. Over the course of a day, the reservation fees alone can add up significantly, making it quite expensive overall.

Had an excellent time on our tour. The sites that we saw were so beautiful. definitely worth the time to see a little bit of Tuscany. We were able to climb the leaning tower of Pisa and the view was amazing.

Everything is just perfect, the passion and dedication of Alex and Sara, the nice driver, the resonable staying time and the USB plug-embedded bus. We also have several chances to talk to each other, coming from Taiwan, USA, Korea, Brazil, Newsland, Spain, etc, and make the journey more memorable : ) One of the most precious experiences I have in Italy! 行程安排: 沿途景點:
