Florence is in the middle of Italy. How is that a port for a cruise?

Archaea

We did Florence and Pisa from a cruise. It docks in a port city and I think

Rome is not my favorite. There are divergent opinions about Rome. It's okay

Archaea

12:22pm

Yes, but it's a must visit at least once. Especially if you're already flying in

I've been to Rome 40+ times - still finding things to see for the first time.

Nice is a beautiful town. Don’t go to the beach, don’t go to Monaco - both are

DiamondDog

12:19pm

Don't go to the Promenade in Nice? Why not?

Archaea

12:21pm

Promenade is nice. I mean don’t plan a day at the beach. It’s a waste of time.

DiamondDog

12:26pm

Gotcha. No, I wouldn't plan a day there even if you were spending a week in Nice

Florence: don't skip the Accademia (Michelangelo's David). If you're there for

Tricky

is Uffizzi the huge museum? I skipped it for smaller museums.

Archaea

Yes, the Uffizzi is the big one in Florence.

volleyjiver

Wait, you were in Florence and chose to skip the Uffizzi?

I ran into Elder Gong in the Uffizi a few years ago. We both enjoyed it -

Make sure to visit Ponte Vecchio in the evening if you can. One of my favorite places in the world.

Pollster

Kinda hard to miss that bridge.

Archaea

Evenings/nights are magical there.

Pollster

When you are in Provence...I would go see Gordes

The Chief

12:44pm

We opted to go to Lucca, instead of Pisa or Florence.

Everyman

1:04pm

Florence: definitely see the Statue of David. We did a guided tour--we really enjoyed the historical context.

cscougar

2:22pm

and do the touristy thing of holding up or pushing down the tower.

Archaea

2:26pm

Go to Siena, just south of Florence.
