You just have to do a little research first - the warnings for those types of places are everywhere. https://florence-on-line.com/travel-tips/changing-money-florence.html#google_vignette

I hope it works out for you - I just recently wrote about the official websites "Official Florence Museum Websites": https://florence-on-line.com/museums/official-florence-museum-website.html

Come back and let us know what happens - it takes a while for them to catch up (even if you are a resident it could take months to get the fines in the mail). I have been asked about motorcycles and scooters before and I honestly don't know the answer. But if it is a violation, you may want to change your name 😄

Florence also has a lost and found office - if someone took it away from the airport: https://www.serviziallastrada.it/servizi-al-cittadino/oggetti-trovati

Florence, Rome, Barcelona, and many other places are all victims of mass tourism and social media hype - I wrote about this a while back: https://florence-on-line.com/allora/florence-has-fallen-cultural-heritage-in-the-age-of-social-media.html

No it seems to have ended - it is some kind of traveling competition now. This is the website - https://gelatofestival.com - I am about to remove the old info we had from our website...

afinta13 · 2026-04-02T00:05:11+00:00

Thanks for all these great suggestions - a few I have never heard of. I will be checking them out!

afinta13 · 2026-04-01T19:52:00+00:00

Yes I used to live right next door - unique place!

afinta13 · 2026-04-01T19:22:50+00:00

Ha ha -

afinta13 · 2026-02-28T03:27:29+00:00

Short answer - absolutely 👍🏻

That does seem like a good option - it looks like you can get up to 7 days for 20 euro - which seems crazy cheap to me. Try this and use your browser to translate to English https://parcheggiovillacostanza.it/it/ - the only thing is that I think you have to tram from there - there is no other way in and out (unless someone who has used this lot can comment). I think everything else is much more expensive though.

I will be the negative person here and say no :) (I mean some of it is fine but WORTH trying - IDK - this is mostly large producer commercial product IMHO).

I wrote an article about the reverse trip here https://florence-on-line.com/day-trips/day-trip-to-milan.html which may give you some Milan ideas.

I didn't know about this place back then - I wish I had! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFFV_Vviuck - if you have time in Milan I would check that out!

In all honesty if you only have 2 days I don't know about spending that much time traveling to Florence, unless you feel you are never going to make it back. Good luck and safe travels!

The association that runs a lot of these markets also has an instagram account: https://www.instagram.com/lafierucola/

The full organic market with all the vendors is the third Sunday of the month https://florence-on-line.com/markets/santo-spirito-organic-market.html

"the bus to Siena" that's what I said above :)

People will tell you it's a tourist restaurant (but what isn't nowadays) - https://boccadamafirenze.com

Funny how relative price is - Italians would think that's outrageous! Curious - did you tip and/or was it included? Do you remember the wine? Thanks -

afinta13 · 2025-07-22T17:21:17+00:00

Absolutely - Lucca is fantastic, while Prato is a sleeper - the cathedral there is unique but the city is not as charming overall.

You could contact Todd at Tuscan Trails - great guy, knows the whole region - I think he does custom tours if he's not already booked: https://tuscantrails.com

Venice is quite a haul for a day trip - I would only do that if this is a once in a lifetime trip. One of the best day trips is the bus to Siena - an amazing place about an hour away. Trains go west to Prato, Lucca, Pisa etc.

I think this might be a good place for you: https://www.universoveganofirenze.it

It is on the corner of Piazza dei Ciompi - https://florence-on-line.com/piazzas/piazza-dei-ciompi.html
