Florence

If you like the slow paced life in an Italian background - then Tuscany is the place.

But what is not slow paced in Tuscany is the city of Florence. Filled with chatty students, fast scooters and shops, I found it to be one of the most busiest cities in Italy.

An hour away is Pisa and Tuscan coastline. I heard that Pisa was overated. I didn’t think so. Maybe the day was too nice.

Well maintained lush green lawns with clear blue skies was an ideal place to just relax and take a nap with the tower of Pisa leaning towards you.

Here are some pictures

Re: Florence

no hon - just Switzerland and Italy.

World Tour maybe when I’m 60 and don’t have other responsibilities. :slight_smile:

Italians don’t make anything easier and Roma, Firenze, Venezia, Milano are all Italian names for their cities. (Rome, Florance, Venice, Milan…)

The bendy building is the Leaning Tower of Pisa and has very interesting history. Leaning Tower of Pisa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
