Tourist attraction
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!
Religious Site
Basilica of Santa Croce
Step into the heart of Florence and discover the awe-inspiring Basilica of Santa Croce, a magnificent testament to art, faith, and history. Nestled in the vibrant city of Florence, Italy, this monumental complex is a masterpiece of Gothic and Renaissance architecture, known as the 'Temple of the Italian Glories.' It serves not only as a place of worship but also as a monumental tribute to Italy's most illustrious figures. Spanning over 12,000 square meters, Santa Croce is a treasure trove of art, culture, and history, offering a captivating journey through centuries of Florentine and Renaissance heritage. With its stunning frescoes and the final resting places of legends like Michelangelo and Galileo, Santa Croce offers an unforgettable journey through art and history. This unique hub where spirituality, beauty, and memory intertwine is a must-visit destination for travelers seeking to immerse themselves in the soul of Italy.
Piazza San Marco
Piazza San Marco, or St. Mark’s Square, is the main public square in Venice, Italy, and one of the most famous in the world. When you visit, you’ll see landmarks like St. Mark’s Basilica, the Doge’s Palace, the Bell Tower, and the Clock Tower. Napoleon called it “the drawing room of Europe,” and as you walk through the square, you’ll feel the rich history of the Venetian Republic all around you.
You can explore museums, admire golden mosaics, spot the winged lion, and enjoy the open space where people gather. During acqua alta (high tides), the San Marco square often floods, but raised walkways help you get around. Don’t miss the Piazzetta di San Marco, which leads to the Grand Canal and two tall granite columns that mark an important piece of Venetian history.

Got ourselves a 7-day Global Pass and travelled through 5 countries. Buying the pass was easy but how to use the app for activating the pass will need some time to learn. However, fear not as there are many experienced people out willing to share. Do some readings and join some fb travel groups and you will surprised by the information available. The pass was flexible but the train schedule can be unpredictable which means you need to be updated requently to stay on course of your journey. We only experienced one hicccup on one of the trips at Berlin due to seat reservation issue and missing the connecting train due to delay of the first train. The other trips were as planned.

The Trenitalia Pass was simple to use and it’s suitable for first time tourist to use. However, it’s a little bit expensive, but for the convenience sake. Do note that you will need to plan your route and journey in advance so that you can reserve your seats.

This isn't your typical European accommodation, but a hotel with a very hip vibe. At first, I thought the location was ambiguous, but you can take the tram from Florence Station to right in front of the hotel, and especially, bus number 12 goes directly to Piazzale Michelangelo! As for the Duomo or Ponte Vecchio, you can cover Florence's tourist attractions on foot anyway. Other than that, the facilities and services were all excellent! In particular, the rooftop view offers a view that makes the price worthwhile. I recommend it to young couples or honeymooners.

I had a very pleasant stay thanks to Julia-R, a female employee who was consistently helpful and smiling. The free parking at the hotel was also great, and the room condition was good, as was the breakfast.

The hotel is generally good, with excellent cleanliness. It was comfortable enough for a three-night stay. The room has a kettle and water glasses. The bathroom amenities are similar to those found in typical European hotels, with the same bottle used for shampoo and body wash. The most commendable thing is the showerhead's super strong water pressure, which is very effective, and the hot water doesn't require any waiting! The hotel is a convenient 5-10 minute walk from the central station. Be careful when going in and out of the station area at night. You need a key card to enter and exit the hotel at night, so the security is also okay!

Jon and Victoria were two amazing teachers and chefs. We all got to work with both of our hands. Freshly made pasta was much better than store bought! 10/10 , would recommend to anyone coming to Florence.

Be right on time, because they won't let you in early and you'll have to wait on the side of the road. The cooking experience was fun, the chef spoke English with an Italian accent. We got to enjoy pizza with generous toppings we added ourselves, gelato, and unlimited wine.
