   When the relentless beauty of Florence becomes too much, find solace in the exquisite gardens overlooking the city. Take a stroll, a picnic and a loved one and relax... Beautiful.

   When you are in a city sometime you need to go out of all this noise. It is the same in Florence.

I liked to play football with my friend.close

The museum as a whole is very entertaining with loads of different art work. The only down fall is the queues to get in- these are e real nightmare! But its all worth it when you step into the gallery & catch your first glimpse of the statue at the end of the corridor.close

   Get there before sunset and find you a place to sit with your friends just like many italians do (can't explain it properly in English.. just look at the picture that you'll understand) drinking some wine and watching the river arno going by :)

   Boboli Gardens was absolutely beautiful. After walking around for a while, we just sat in the grass and had the most beautiful view. It was amazing to see everything inside and equally amazing to just sit and stare.

    This is a really impressive cathedral. The art work is breath taking. Fab views can be had from the top- although It a steep climb & not or the faint hearted.

The art work is breath taking. Fab views can be had from the top- although It a steep climb & not or the faint hearted. Loads of tour groups are here so expect queues on the tiny stairs. We also found that there were loads of tour groups there while we were there which did get on your nerves a bit. Its also a shame that higher up in the cathedral students have graffitied the walls. Only other down fall is that as with all sites in Florence there is a fairly steep entrance fee & a grumpy cashier asking for the money.close
