Florence and the Renaissance

[@TravelJack]

On the 14th day of my 29-day European mega-trip, we stroll along the Renaissance Walk as we explore the historical sights of Florence! The day starts near Brunelleschi's Dome as we climb Giotto's Campanile (bell tower). Then, we'll enjoy some gelato as we stroll down a street that connects Florence's historical religious and political centers. After enjoying views of the Arno River and fine jewelry on the famous Ponte Vecchio bridge, we'll stop for a bite at Eataly before heading back towards the dome to explore some museums. We'll end the night with a wash at an Italian laundromat, followed by dinner at Self Service Restaurant Leonardo.

Nice thanks. Way too short of a visit for such a great city however. The Palazzo Pitti, the Boboli gardens, the Medici Chapel, Santa Croce and of course the Uffizi are all must see to be honest. And not to mention Tuscany in general with towns like Siena, San Gimignano, Pisa and many more, all close to Florence. Americans and their crazy travel schedule haha... Spend 8 days in Florence a couple of years ago and I felt I barely scratched the surface.
