- Florence city center is packed with an endless amount of things to see, do and eat! 🇮🇹 Today, we take you on a walking tour and explore the historic centre of the city to help you prepare for your trip to Florence as you create your own Florence Travel Guide! w/@michaworldwide
With a rich history, captivating culture and famed for being the birthplace of the Renaissance, Florence is a fully-fledged city with a small-town feel that will charm its way into your heart and remain there forever. The Tuscan capital is essentially an open-air museum full of architectural masterpieces and unique works of art, so abundant, in fact, that its entire historic center within the ancient medieval walls is a UNESCO World Heritage site. There is definitely something to see around every corner… This guide only serves as a bite-size chunk of what there is in Florence! We are guiding you through the city starting from the train station and working our way up through the Historical Center of Florence!

And I’m stuck with 26° today…..Thanks for posting great videos……
Cute guy ❤
I was 18 the last time I was in Florence. I just got lost a whole day walking around looking like this 😮😂 Florence is really a walking museum ❤
We wish you all the best in your lives. God bless you both.
Thank you so much Sophia! 🥰❤️
Great time !!!!!!
Thanks Drew! 🤗
🍕 🍕 🍕 This was one of the most informative and organized videos you’ve both posted… the only thing missing perhaps is suggesting restroom spots…
😂
I am enjoying your first hand walk abouts! I would suggest that you add a link to a Google map of various "tours " that you have so that people can follow that map. Also, maybe a video on tips and tricks and hidden gems in Florence. Like using the below ground shopping mall under the train station to bypass the traffic out front of the station. Thanks again!
Lovely Florence
Yes! 😍🇮🇹
Thanks!!
I've watched over 20 videos about Florence. This is hands down the very best and most useful one. Thank you so much! I will be subscribing for sure.
Aww thank you so much for your kind words, that really means a lot to us! 🥰 We are so happy you found it helpful! ❤️
Good commentary. I followed along on a map of Florence as l watched to get my bearings again for my return in April and May. One downer, l was very disappointed and disgusted to see you buying water in plastic bottles. It is so easy to carry a thermos and fill it at drinking fountins. I pack a collapsible ice tray and fill the thermos completely with ice when leaving the apartment in the morning. Adding water as l go, the ice generally lasts me most of the day. I have cold water and am not killing the planet. Win - win.😊
With good & bad memories Unforgettable city.
Thank you so much
Super job with your video, Micha and Matteo! I have binged on all sorts of videos of Italy in prep for our upcoming month-long trip there … and honestly, nothing compares to this video. Helpful directions, brief, but valuable descriptions of the key places in the historic centre. Plus great videography and superb editing; the work you pour into your videos really shows! And what a charming and fun loving couple you are. ❤
Maybe we’ll see you shooting footage around town when we’re in Florence in mid-April. 🤷🏼 Ciao!
Beautiful city tour, guys. I lived there for three months for the first part of my military service. Florence is magnificent. Keep it up!!
Very nice and comprehensive tour of many of the main sites in Firenze. Nice to see my old piazza, Santa Croce, at the end. I used to sit there almost every day to relax and take in the atmosphere. I made many friends at the local cafes, bars, and restaurants. I do miss Firenze very much, but I am looking forward to my time in Sicily very soon! Grazie, Paul
Thank you so much Paul, we are so happy you enjoyed it! 🥰 We hope you have an amazing time in Sicily when you go! 😍🇮🇹
Great 🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕. My travel at Florenc is fix ,in April 😎 best regards 👋
That’s so exciting Carsten, we hope you have the best time! 😍🇮🇹

Thank you so much Isabel! 🥰
This. So much. Loved the tour and has already got my mind planning an excursion to Firenze when I am in Umbria in October. Thank you for making these videos and sharing your adventure.
Excellent video! We are visiting Italy in May and I happened upon your video---but I will be searching for more! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge
Aww thank you so much! 🥰 We are so happy you found it helpful and we hope you have an amazing time on your trip! 😍🇮🇹
Excellent video.
Thank you so much Ashish, we're so happy you enjoyed it! 🤗
Useful video! I use google maps a lot, and it's nice to see google map being inserted to get a sense of direction and what we see in real life vs the maps.
Great tour! I love Florence and will be visiting again soon! So walkable and just just a feast for the eyes everywhere you go! ❤
Thanks Ingrid! 🥰 And yes it really is! 😍🇮🇹
Lovely walk around the city center, not sure what else is coming in future videos but just in case, one of my favorites sights of Florence is Piazzale Michelangelo, where the third David of the city is located and the views from above the river are breathtaking.
Really enjoyed the video, made planning to visit all the churches/museums easier, makes much more sense now I know where everything is! Thanks guys
Great video. You did an excellent job putting it all together. I hope to go to Florence later this year.
Love your videos. And the very pleasant smiles on both your faces all the time. Your diction and pronunciation of Italian words is so immersive, 😊(for want of a better word).
makes me want to go to Italy. Thanks.
🤗🇮🇹
We are in Rome currently and heading to Florence next week. Your tour guide info is the best. I have reviewed them numerous times to retain all your great tips. Loved the one about street food in Florence.
Aww thank you so much for your kind words Gary, we are so happy you are finding our videos helpful! 🤗 And that’s awesome, we hope you have an amazing time! 😍🇮🇹
very informative! Thnx!
We’re so happy you enjoyed it! 🤗
Great video guys, really helped us with our 1st trip to this wonderful city. The tip about looking out for the con artists with their crappy pictures on the ground was great, we witnessed first hand one of them really hassling a tourist aggressively for just walking closely to his stuff!! The police really should do more to move them along
You two are the best. I enjoy the way you give specifics on how to navigate the streets.
Aww thank you so much! 🥰
Planning to do a daytrip from Rome next month. Looks like the whole city is very walkable. We’re coming with two young children though 😅
Perfect guides ❤❤❤
Aww thank you so much, you're so sweet! 🥰
Awesome! Florence is very walkable. I can’t wait to visit
Yes it really is! We hope you have an amazing time when you go! 😍🇮🇹
There is only one place in the world where everyday life is so completely reflected in the sublime, in a wonderful mix of nature and culture........it is Tuscany.
Marie-Henri Beyle, Stendhal
Fantastic Florence 😊
Yes! 😍🇮🇹
I really enjoyed how you gave directions as you toured Florence. Very handy for getting oriented on arrival! LOTS of information as well!! Thank you.
Thank you so much Jill, we are so happy you enjoyed it! 🥰🇮🇹
For the day I had in Florence twenty years ago, I really wish I'd been able to see this video. I missed probably 80% of what Florence has just strolling past something that I should've stopped at. But now I have you guys--so, next time.
Fabulous video!! Loved the maps. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻♥️
Aww thank you so much! 🥰❤️
You two are a delight to watch! Super helpful info and very generous in so many ways. Thank you!
Aww thank you so much, that really means a lot to us Amrita! 🥰 We are so happy you enjoyed it & found it helpful! 🤗

Great video and guide. My husband and I will be visiting Bologna and Florence this coming May. Do you have a video of Bologna? If so, would you kindly send the link.
Thank you and keep up the amazing work!!
Great tour. No pizza tip but..... we wouldn't want "Hercules" to loose his figure 😆 😆 😆 😜 😄
Thanks for the wonderful video. Very helpful to make plans.
Is March a good time to visit Florence?
Complimenti, le vostre descrizioni sono accuratissime, una vera guida per turisti.
Congratulations, your descriptions are very accurate, a proper tourist's guide.
Grazie mille! 🥰
Our Italy(Rome, Florence, Venice) trip is coming up in Mid October. What’s the typical weather/what do you recommend is needed? A “travel musts items” would be a great video :)
70F-50F, the start of their rainy season so some weather gear. Classic 3 stops, you are going to love it!
Hi there, Can you guys do a video on best rooftop bars and aperativo in Rome. Heading there for a birthday so would love some insight. Love your work BTW :-)
Another exceptional video guys, KUDOS! Looking forward to your Oltrarno video!!! Greetings from Greece, Mirella and Panos
Aww thanks guys, that means a lot! 🥰
We’re going to the MotoGP in June and just found y’all tonight! We’re so excited to se your Chanel! We’re doing Tuscany then Amalfi Coast and then Rome! With the race being the reason for the visit!!
Ahh that's awesome Deborah, we hope you have the BEST time!! 😍🇮🇹
Great format of video. The absence of music fits perfectly.
Thank you Alex! 🥰
There wouldn't be a better timing for the Florence guide since I'm travelling next week. thank you for making my trip easy 🙌
have fun!!
That’s awesome Shaher, we hope you have an amazing trip! 😍🇮🇹
You guys make nice videos 😊
Thank you so much Chris, we’re so happy you enjoy them! 🤗
Btw what a beautiful and informative vlog!
Aww thank you so much Josh, we're so happy you liked it! 🥰
Have you guys looked at turning these guides into walking tour apps? We'll be in Florence next week so we're refreshing here and taking notes but I would pay to have this in a walking tour format we could just have in our pockets and update as we walk. I started looking for some audio tours and there are companies that allow people to make their own and share the profits. I'm listen to their samples and they're not as good as you guys!
This is so informative! Following your travel guide definitely helps with everything!!! Thank you!
Aww thanks Hoi, we're so happy you found it helpful! 🤗🇮🇹
@@TheGlobalExpats Yes it's super helpful.. especially when it's gonna be my first time visiting Italy with my mom..just super nervous and all~ but ur guides gives great tips to be aware of.
@@TheGlobalExpats not sure if you can help with this or maybe point me to a better direction with it..but I do have a quick question about the omnia pass for Rome. Not quite sure if it's worth it to get it. For a first timer in Italy..I do want to get to the main sights like the colosseum and the Vatican city..but Im just not a guided tour kinda girl~ any advice?
Great video ❤
Thanks Ross! 🥰
Hey Guys , greetings from Sunny Cape Town South Africa. We have been watching all your videos 😊.
We came to Italy in 2022 and fell in love with Rome Florence and Milan.
We heading back in 62 days to do the trip again. Would really love to hook up for a cup of coffee if you have time.
Thank you for an awesome 2 channels
Wayne and Debbie
Hello I’m enjoying your videos! Is this current weather? I’m looking at weather condition this week and it looks gloomy. Just asking because I’m going in 2 weeks and want to know proper dress code. Is this footage pre filmed? Grazie mille
I loved this tour guide! Great job! We will have one day in Florence and will def use your guide. Can I ask how long it would take to do this walking tour without entering museums? Thank you! ❤
Thank you so much Maria! You can definitely do the walking tour in one day if you aren't entering any of the monuments/churches/museums 🥰
Interesting new format. Maybe you should develop an interactive tour app to help people and yourselves.
Hello! thank you for an awesome video, was this filmed in march? Im asking because of the weather and clothing
Thank you, we're so happy you liked it! 🤗 We filmed this in early November!
Awesome tour guide. What time of the year was this video shot? I would like to avoid summer crowds and heat, but still catch some sunshine while visiting. Thanks in advance.
Thank you so much, we’re so happy you enjoyed it! 🤗 We filmed this in early November, but in our opinion the best time to visit Italy would be in September / early-mid October! 🇮🇹
@@TheGlobalExpats Thank you. Bought you a pizza.
Would anyone be able to advise the best way from Pitti Palace to Piazza Michelangelo? Should I take a cab just to save on the uphill walk after a long day? Many thanks.
I enjoyed your last vlog. Fpr your next once please could do a vlog on how to use a taxi in Florence or how to order a taxi? I know that there are two numbers, one is 4242 and the other is 4390 but if you have a foreign mobile how do you order a taxi.
I can see we need to go back to Florence and hang around several days, not just one afternoon with the cruise lines.
Yes definitely! There is so much to see! 🤗🇮🇹
Where have you been guys we missed the vlogs
Aww you’re so sweet, thank you! 😊
Great video! What time of the year was that? Is this recent?
Thank you! 🤗 We filmed this in early November!
Do you guys use a pocket hotspot or just go with international data plan from your cell phone carriers?
please tell can we visit this much florence that you covered in this video, in 4 hours????
ساحه جميله وسط المباني والبيوت للجلوس والمشي فيها وقضاء بعض الوقت فيها مع الرفاق 🕋🌷🍄
what month is this
Was that the way the arancino uomo drank his water? Caught that right away.
Hahaha yup! 🤣 Good eye! 😂
Do the markets take cash only or do they take credit cards too?
Hey Kenneth, a lot of places take card but we always recommend keeping cash on you just in case!
Will the Florence Train Terminal buses allow us to ride with luggage?
Yes they will. 😊
@@kindness1st18 Muchas gracias! Grazie! Thank you!
Where is the gelato shop featured in this video?
That is La Strega Nocciola, when looking at the Duomo from the front entrance, go around it on the left, make your first left (Via Ricasoli), it is 5 shops up on the right. Best Gelato we ever had in Italy!!
Hey Claire, the shop is called 'La Strega Nocciola' and is located right next to the Duomo, you can see the full clip in this video: ruclips.net/video/MJZms8v8crw/видео.htmlsi=Ev_DV-9ke7I7xfLd&t=1726 🥰
Nice video. You look a bit like Pedro Pascal
Thank you Meg, that's a new one! 🤣
Ok; must acknowledge that this is not my favorite (unlike the video of the piazza del duomo, museo del opera del duomo, etc. which was amazing). I think you need to introduce this one as a high-level overview to navigating the centro storico-which it does well from that standpoint. Love what you are doing and will acknowledge that I feel somewhat proprietary toward Florence, having been there at least 15 times.
Thanks!
Oh my goodness, thank you so much Jennifer! We can't tell you how much we appreciate your generosity! 🥰❤️
