Florence is a city where art and history come alive. Walking through its streets felt like stepping back in time, surrounded by masterpieces. The local food was delightful, and the people friendly. I especially enjoyed lingering at Piazza della Signoria and admiring the Duomo’s details. Despite its popularity, the city’s charm can be found around every corner.
