We went to Florence today by train. Jeanette arranged a driver, Enzo, to take us to the train station in the morning. The train ride to Florence is an hour and a half from Cortona.
Florence, known as Firenze in Italian, is a magnificent city located in the region of Tuscany, Italy. It is renowned worldwide as the birthplace of the Renaissance and is considered a treasure trove of art, culture, and history.
We wandered around the city and found a leather shop Benheart Florence. Mimi bought a beautiful leather jacket.
Additionally, Florence is renowned for its cuisine and Tuscan specialties. Mimi's friend recommended a restaurant called Foody Farm. It offers superb modern Italian food in a fun casual atmosphere. It’s easy to find on the river near Ponte Trinita. We loved the food there.
After lunch we walked to the famous bridge Ponte Vecchio. This is an old attraction in Florence. There are jewelers, art dealers, and souvenir shops there.
Mimi found another beautiful leather jacket in a leather shop endorsed by Rick Steves. By then, we all were tired and got a Taxi back to the train station. By the time we arrived at Cortona train station, Enzo was waiting for us and took us back to our B&B.
We had dinner at La Grotta tonight. This is another restaurant highly recommended by Jeanette.
