Unlike metropolitan Milan and Rome, Florence has a more toned down charm and serene atmosphere, especially as the sun rises and sets over the city. A very easy city to navigate around and one that is filled with hidden gems in every corner, be it a traditional bottega housing a small collection of wines or a copy of Michelangelo's famous work, the David, casually posing for passerby outside a government building.
Known for the birth of Renaissance art and home to the Demedici's, Florence is no stranger to international attention and upon entry to this city, it's almost difficult to distinguish the city's lavish history by it's laidback nature.
Two nights here was far from enough to soak in everything about this city but perhaps, a later visit may be in the books. For now, snippets of the past will have to do.
