Soak all the wonderful art...
by Packerman
Soak all the wonderful art into yourself. There are statues, foutains, sculptures on buildings, beautiful churhes with excellent paintings and other treasures, museums, and just very interesting buildings all over the city. I have too many. Standing in front of the facade of the Duomo, staring at the michaelangelo painting of the Duomo dome interior, eating gelato and Italian ice.

Corri la vita is both a competitive race and a non-competitive walk set up every year to raise fund for the research on breast cancer causes.
During the race many private gardens and villas are open and people can enjoy visiting them.

Bycicle in Florence
by gial1
I think the best way to visit the Florence City Center is by bycicle. You can enjoy the landscape, palaces, architectures, arts, people with your bycicle. There are many bycicle streets along the river, in the avenues. Moreover the city center is forbidden to cars so if your hotel is not inside the city center you can go there renting a bycicle and enjoy your stay. If you park your bycicle somewhere lock it!!!!
A little Tuscan country
by Roadquill about Il Latini
Huge plates of pasta, soup, meats, piled high. You can feed an army. Maybe two. I bit too much for my wife and three daughters. Plus a big bottle of house chiante. I must admit that the basalmic vinegar was below par, in fact, it pretty much sucked.
