Spend a few days!! This city...
by sargentjeff
Spend a few days!! This city is so beautiful and interesting it deserves your time. My favorite italian city. Well, I love the south too, but for the rest, this takes the cake Walking up the the Duomo and, well after an attempted pickpocketing, viewing the enormity of the building. It is absolutely incredible to look at. After all, it took 175 years to construct. That's like 10 generations in those days. :) And they didn't even have Black and Decker tools. Boy what a bummer.
HERE IS A GOOD MAP OF THE CITY

The new marketplace
by Karahan about Mercato Nuovo
Silk and some goods for luxury were selling there, hundreds years ago. You can find leather, bags, souvenirs, gifts and many more nowadays. Lodge is not big at all and there are 15+ street shops to buy something.
There is another famous Florence thing just behind the building at south side; Il Porcellino (boar) Many bags that you can see everywhere in the city, marbles, silk clothes, leather jackets etc.
walking is the only way
by EllenH
Everything is with in walking distance and also walking distance from the train station. There is no better way to get to see the ins and outs of Florence then on foot. You can cover it all in a day.
