48 Hours in Florence - Best Food, Hidden Gems, and Tips for Travelers

We hope you guys enjoy this Florence travel vlog! Since this was our second time in Florence, we were less concerned about visiting all of the top sites and more excited to just wander around and live the city. Our goal was to show you our favorite places to eat in Florence, or as it's known in Italy- Firenze, and to also show you some less-touristy hidden gem sites, and share our tips for travel to Florence. In the video, you'll see us try the most famous sandwich in Italy- all'antico vinaio, and also eat at our favorite restaurant in Florence (Finesterrae) and return to what we think is the best gelato in Florence, Gelateria dei Neri. You'll see the lucky Porchellino statue, Michelangelo street art, some secret sites around Santa Maria del Fiore, the first pharmacy Officina Profumo- Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella and also get a tour of the cutest Airbnb with the best view in Florence. We hope you like traveling along with us! Make sure to like and sub for more adventures in Italy that are coming next!

You cannot imagine how wonderful it is for the majority of people watching this - you bringing us with you. Your constant filming in Italy is the BEST TREAT (for me as an Italian American). I was in Rome and Brindisi in 1992. Jessi, your tour guiding is wonderful. I love you guys. Alessio, do you have a brother, cousin, friend, uncle for me? ❤

This was hands down one of your cutest videos! So authentic and true! You brought us back so many fond memories, thank you so much! Your place was incredible! It had a lot of stairs but the view was to die for. PS Next time around give a go to Panini Toscani near the Duomo and La strega nocciola for gelato if you can.

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

Arriving at a European city by high-speed rail is the way to go! That's the power of European engineering! The Duomo is quite impressive! The dome of the cathedral was built between 1420 and 1436 to a plan by Filippo Brunelleschi, and is still the largest masonry vault in the world. Such a structure had been planned since the 1300s, but the admirable innovation of Brunelleschi was to create it without reinforcements in wood, since none could have sustained a cupola of this size. Before Filippo, they had problems figuring out how to support the dome as there wasn't enough wood in Tuscany to construct centering to support the dome and so the design of the dome called for an ingenious solution. Brunelleschi had just the solution. He proposed building two domes instead of one, one nested inside the other. The inner dome was built with four horizontal stone and chain hoops which reinforced the octagonal dome and resisted the outward spreading force that is common to domes, eliminating the need for buttresses. The unprecedented building strategies didn't stop there! To construct the brick walls, Brunelleschi employed a novel herringbone pattern that allowed the brick to self-reinforce as it was being laid so that the bricks wouldn't fall off the wall as it became more inclined!

My wife, daughter & I spent a few days in Florence. It's a m a gical city. Also did a tour of Tuscany. Had some awesome food at a coop farm, world champion Gelato at San Giminano & saw the Leaning Tower in Pisa. Long day but worth every minute.

Great video! Jessi is so beautiful, that green dress is 🔥! Can’t wait for both to move to Italy, such an amazing country!

[@rosarowland8592]

Jesse when I was in Florence we rented an apartment on the sixth floor we had to drag our luggage all the way up those stone steps and the light would go off in the stairways , ok had my knee wrapped in a tensor band . I lost 7 pounds in 1 week, I'll never complain since were so spoiled. The pain was worth seeing Florence ❤

[@sharipowers1576]

Y'all need to do a video on Elizabeth and Robert Browning's house in Florence. It truly is worth it. I would give anything to see their house, I've taught college classes in their literature and it was so much a part of their artistry.

Bellissima Firenze💚🤍❤

[@LynleyByrd482]

Absolutely fell in love with Florence when we visited Italy back in October. We flew into Florence so it was our first impression of Italy and we literally never wanted to leave. We had about four flights of stairs in our hotel lol so yeh they kill you After visiting Rome, Positano, Capri, Montepulciano, Pienza, and Naples we still absolutely loved Firenze!! Didn’t know about the hidden face at Piazza della Signora which was one of our favorite places! Will have to look for that next time. And yes there’s always room for gelato!

[@deecohen1383]

Another fun fact. The first day I was in Firenze I was searching for the Medici pallazo. Walked all over. Then took a break to sit down on a ledge. THAT WAS THE MEDICI PALAZZO!

[@Ameslan1]

Your video was shot like a movie! Fantastic!

[@summermucha5207]

I love ❤️ the direct vision of these places with the architecture. Alessio knocking on a door where the handles are high above his head. Surely, it is obvious they were built by giants. I wish we all knew our true history.

[@vanessazannis5523]

When I was in Florence I found it very easy to make friends with the locals. Incredibly nice and also very hard working. I love Florence and I think it’s important to stay at least 2 weeks if not a month. Watch the pick pockets!!!

[@user-pf7jm9go6o]

One time in Firenze, we were walking near Santa Maria Novella and it was around 7PM, our feet were sore and we were tired. There was a large restaurant I think called Salvatore or something like it. We went in, but of course, in Firenze, that is early for dinner and they hadn't begun the service yet. But they could see how tired we were, so they seated us and gave us an appetizer that was off the menu to hold us over until dinner began. It was a huge porcini head, fresh, as large as a portobello, sautéed in garlic. It is one of the best things we ever ate. Just one of many amazing stories of our travels in Italy.

Thank you for this whirlwind tour of Firenze! It brought me back to many of the places I have been (many times) during my time there. Even the sound of the ambulance siren made me smile! I so enjoyed living near there (I lived for a time in the neighbourhood of Novoli, which isn’t that fabulous, but I could walk to the parco delle Cascine, which was nice, but then I found an apartment outside of Signa, which was a quick train ride or drive to Florence). Lampradotto is my favourite panino of all time & I must say antico vinaio had exploded in popularity since I first visited it in 2011. I think the issue with the original is that there’s always a huge line. I’m sure the food is just as good. Tommy has done a good job with that place.
