FLORENCE, ITALY



Spent 4 days 3 nights in FLORENCE, italy. A 2 hours train ride with trainilia from venjce which cost around 45 euro one way if you bought it on the train station ticketing office. You will get cheaper deal if you buy it early online.

Florence is indeed a very beautiful place. Is not too crowded, is just nice. Everything here is so ancient and i love every bit of the city.

Basically, my whole journey, i do it on foot. So i did not buy any transport tickets. All main attractions are in the city and you can reach all of it by foot.

Went to have lunch at this restaurant with my cousin. My cousin found this place throuht trip advisor. Food in this restaurant is really nice, real italian food. Expenses for the food is around 5 euros and above.





You should give it a try. :)

Another thing i love about florence is the chocolates and gelato, which is also knkwn as ice cream. Hot cholates here are really good dark thick chocolate and it taste really nice. Gelato can be found on every street here, gelato is so good and there are plenty of flavors you can choose.




When you are in italy, never miss the chance of getting yourself a pizza. Pizza i had (see below) are the classkc pizza - tomato, brasil and cheese. Cost 5 euro for one ehole big pizza and is so much better than pizza hut :)


We also went to climb the 460 stairs of DUOMO. Last entrance is 5pm. We got there at 4pm, queue was long. The climb is worth, and before you knew it, you are realy reaching the dome. Ticket cost 10 euros. The view is stunning and breathtaking.








Personally, im quite amazed with all the details art work of SANTA MARIA DEL FLORE. Is just amazing and i give 100% respect to the designer/artist for these.








While walking around florence, i notice that the signboard had been randomly vadalism.


In fact, it turns out to be quite nice and interesting. I pass by a shop which actually sell the stickers of it.






We also managed to climb up a hill to ABBAZIA DISAN MINIATO AL MONTE. It is a church located up a hill. Climbing up there is not easy, but what you gain in the end is the amazing view.


Last but not least, PONTE VECCHIO. it looks really pretty in photos but not in the eye. Ha ha. But i had to admit it does look unique.



My cousin will end his trip and heading back to london tomorrow while i will be continue on my journey alone. Next stop: ROME.

Let me conclude my blog about florence with DAVID's xxx ha ha ha.
