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
