The Florence Guide.

Florence is rich and romantic—Renaissance beauty, golden light, and just the right dose of drama. It’s a city that rewards slowing down, with quiet churches, knockout views, and unforgettable food.

Florence is a city of layers. At first glance—especially on a sweltering summer day—it can feel like a whirlwind of tour groups and checklist sights. I’ve been there, quite literally, melting in the heat and following the crowds with my mom on my first visit in high school.

But done right, Florence reveals itself as one of Italy’s richest cultural treasures—full of soul, artistry, and quiet moments that stay with you long after you leave.

This guide is something I’ve been building slowly over the years, returning to Florence again and again, uncovering new favorites each time. It’s full of places that don’t show up on top Yelp lists—intimate spots, hidden corners, and experiences that reflect the real magic of the city.

Because of how special this one is, it lives behind the paywall. But if there’s ever a guide that’s worth unlocking, it’s this.
