To make it easy for you I´ve put all my Florence recommendations in a small guide. Save this link for your upcoming visit. Here you go: La Terrazza, roof terrace accessible from the 5th floor of the Ferragamo-owned Hotel Continentale with a gorgeous panorama view. Chillaxing! Duomo, take a selfie in front of this backdrop. Florence most iconic landmark, is among Italy's "Big Three" (with Pisa's leaning tower and Rome's Colosseum). Caffè Giacosa, Roberto Cavallis hip cafe. Via dè Tornabuoni, upscale shopping district. You will find everything from Céline to Gucci. Vivoli or Grom, for great gelato. LÓlfattorio, one of my favorite spots. Here it´s all about the art of perfumes. Among the labels you will find; L’Artisan Parfumeur, Diptyque, Penhaligon’s, Comptoir Sud Pacifique. Mercato Centrale, Florence's central food market, housed in a 19th-century glass and iron building, is a must for foodies. Buy some parmesan back home! JK, townhouse hotel, designed by architect Michele Bönan. A calm oasis in the heart of Florence. Arriving to the JK Place you feel as though you are coming to the house of friends. LuisaViaRoma, main store is located at 19-21 via Roma but I prefer to go to their sale store for great finds. Grand Villa Cora, this impressive villa dates from the mid 19th-century. It is now a luxury hotel with 48 rooms. Love the hotel pool and their pasta pomodore. PONTE VECCHIO, take a stroll on the "old bridge". Great instagram moments! Palazzo Strozzi, remember the blog post about dinner in a palace? The palace houses a number of exhibitions. Open daily 9am-8pm.
