A Perfect Day In The Capital Of Tuscany

early wake up and breakfast at Pasticceria Gaetano buttery pastries and best cappuccino!

visit antique shops, artisan's botteghe, boutiques, watch artists' at work

check for fun events, a couple weeks ago they had the Chocolate Festival; bet chocolate artisans from all over Italy- Delicious hot "bomboloni" from Naples, filled with chocolate cream and liquor spiked hot chocolate from Piemonte-warmed me right up

On one side watch the sun go down over the Arno river, on the other take in the Ponte Vecchio at dusk-gorgeous and so romantic

Via della Condotta, 54-r, 50122 Florence, Italy Lovely atmoshpere, great food and service, right near P.za della Signoria

Sit outside and enjoy a digestif while admiring the splendor of the Palazzo Vecchio, a perfect ending to a perfect day.

Centrally located and typically Florentine, enjoy the view from the rooftop terrace
