*POST UPDATED OCTOBER 2026
Friends, welcome to Part I of our Italian Adventures: Florence!
I’m so excited to share this travel guide with you! It has been such a long time in the making and I’m dying to tell you about all of our favourite places in the Tuscan capital.
Let me just start with this statement: we adore Italy. If Italophile is a word – which google has led me to believe it could be – then Boyfriend & I would definitely be described as such. We love the vibe, the food, the wine, the museums, the language, the atmosphere, the gelato, everything. This is the case for Italy as a whole, yes – but Florence in particular has something that other Italian cities just can’t compare with – and I’m not just talking about the world’s best cheesecake.
There’s a huge amount of recommendations in this post. I’ve streamlined the recs into six sections: stay / coffee / eat / drink / paid attractions / free attractions. If you have any doubts about any of the places listed below, just know that we’ve been to each & every single place a whole bunch of times (some an embarrassingly large amount of times), so you know you can actually trust us when we say they’re reliable.
Happy travelling, friends!
