Our next stop on the Italian voyage was Florence. I quickly realized why this charming city is such a traveler's favorite in Tuscany. Florence peaked in the Renaissance and hasn't come down since. We spent most every day simply wandering the streets and admiring the art + architecture, gelato in hand.
{The city revolves around the main centre: Duomo, Baptistry and Campanile.}
{Pleasant greeting each morning.}
{Chicness in a castle.}
{Gelato on every corner.}
{The result of a very difficult flavor decision: Tiramisu.}
{After a dauntingly narrow and terrifying climb to the top of the Duomo, the view was worth it.}
{The Boboli Gardens}
{Ponte Vecchio.}
{A very pleasant surprise: our rented apartment had a rooftop terrace with a breathtaking 360 view.}
{Goodnight Florence.}
