Good to know:

Florence is a walkable city, and strolling through its cobbled streets is one of the best ways to soak in the atmosphere. The local currency is the Euro (€), and the city is known for its excellent gelato – don’t miss a visit to Gelateria La Carraia for a sweet treat. Florence is particularly busy in summer, so visiting in the shoulder seasons (spring and autumn) offers a more relaxed experience, with fewer crowds and more pleasant temperatures. Be sure to bring comfortable shoes for exploring the city’s narrow streets and hilly terrain.
