When you visit Rome make a quick trip Florence: By train you'll be in the heart of Florence in 1 1/2 hours! My one day itinerary for a gastronomic and cultural Flavor of Florence takes you to Florence's best food market, an iconic Florentine trattoria for lunch, and a whirlwind walking tour of the city to see Florence's best sites, shopping streets and antique stores. And if you'd like to stay just a bit longer than a day check out my recommendation for a quaint "room-with-a-view" hotel and a terrace overlooking the Ponte Vecchio. If you want to dig deeper into Florence check out the links in my blog post, and visit the brand new go-to Florence travel website FlorenceWise AND listen to my chat with FlorenceWise owner Elyssa.
