Firenze
This is one city that should be on everyone's bucket list. Florence is as authentic as Italian culture gets! Whether you would like to travel back into Italian renaissance in the Uffizi gallery or simply people watch in the Piazza della Signoria, I recommend at least 3 or 4 days in this beautiful city. There is so much to see, especially as the Florentines are especially proud of their heritage, they have worked hard to preserve the gifts their elder generations have left them in the form of architecture, art and glorious food!

If you would like to see the masterpieces of Michelangelo, Botticelli and Da Vinci be sure to buy tickets in advance as it gets awfully busy (we queued for over an hour in the freezing cold- although it was worth it). My favourite in the Uffizi gallery was Michelangelo's Doni Tondo, which must be seen for its intricate details in person.
Also another one of my favourite highlights from Florence was the visit to Piazzale Michelangelo. This is a famous square with a phenomenal view of the city - photographs don't do it justice!
