I'm leaving in one weeeeek! So excited. Haven't been to Florence since 1985 when I was an exchange student in France. Thanks so much to all of you who have answered my Italy questions in recent months. First time visit to Tuscany and the lakes region.
I wanted to pay it forward with this great little article I saw today from an American blogger living in Italy. (I thought the suggestion to look for Yelp events as a way to meet locals was interesting and the suggestion to have a drink on one of the hotel terraces with a view of the city, too.):
