I would have live this city forever, walk across that river and bridge everyday, and eat cantuccini without any complain. Florence is my long searched home, I felt like that when I first stepped its little streets.

When you are in Florence, if you want a beautiful view of the city without the crowds, go to Forte di Belvedere. We did that instead of Piazzale Michelangelo. I think it was around 3 Euros per person, but totally worth it, especially when we looked over and saw the huge crowd at the Piazzale!

Food: Ristorante La Spada (traditional Firenze dining) Move On (v cool cocktail bar) Da Nicola Pesce&Carne - such a gorgeous little restaurant not too expensive. Amazing staff! Things to do: Boboli Gardens, Uffizi Gallery, Palazzo Vecchio, all the museums! Everything is Firenze is incredible! Grab a bottle of wine and watch the sunset from the ‘Piazzale Michelangelo’ - but it is a walk so be prepared. Get there early for a good spot!

Florence is overrated to me. I liked the sightseeing and touristy stuff, but after two days it was enough for me. I didn't like the narrow streets. The people were nice but some parts of the city were dirty.

The train station in Florence is a major hub for getting around Italy. Florence is a full 3 days without leaving the city. You must buy tickets to the Uffizi in advance from their web page. Otherwise the line for general admission could be hours. The Duomo is the same. Line wrapping twice around the place. It is an expensive city too. But safe for solo travelers.
