Florence isn't just about the museums and bridges dotted with tourist stalls. It has a beautiful countryside, and still has a large population of locals, who would be happy to treat you nicely if you act as the nice and appreciative tourist to them as your hosts.
Although I must say, I also had the world's worst McD's burger at the train station (we were in a rush, what can I say...)
- simonh 3y agoYou went to Florence and didn’t have Bistecca? Go back and try again!
- the-rc 3y agoYou're kinda making my case against "downtown" Florence. I should have been clearer. The countryside and most of the rest of Tuscany is more pleasant and doesn't trap heat in the summer like the city does. Even there, though, some places like San Gimignano can get too touristy. See the baffling trend of torture museums as an example...
