Key attractions:
1. Basilica di Santa Croce (Basilica of the Holy Cross)
It is the burial place of some of the most illustrious Italians, such as Michelangelo, Galileo, Machiavelli, Foscolo, Gentile and Rossini, thus it is known also as the Temple of the Italian Glories (Tempio dell'Itale Glorie). You will see the tombstone with what they are famous for...
You will see Galileo and his telescope...
2. Duomo
Must eat enough and feel fit to climb the very very steep stairs! but since we've conquered sagrada familia, this is easy peasy!
3. Uffizi Gallery
While i know it's so highly raved, but maybe I'm just not cultured enough to appreciate all the art pieces. Knowing Bottticelli's Venus is sufficient for me! Even after purchasing the tickets beforehand, we had to queue... queue... queue. We spent more time queing then actually visiting the place as I was starving and sped through the whole gallery.
** Oops... Do buy your tickets online first!

P.S>> No wonder i had to buy a calendar to remember all the art pieces and the places!
4. Academia gallery
"Hello David, are you there???"
The Accademia houses Michelangelo's David, easily the most famous sculpture in the world.
5. Ponte Vecchio florence italy bridge
Do cross the other side for boboli gardens... it deserves a separate post for that. Check out the boboli gardens post.. as its name suggest, well, it's a huge garden. (approx time spent - 3hours)
*Once-off exhibition: April 2013.. was lucky enough to catch Dali's exhibition. Reminded me of the times where Sg had those exhibitions and mum brought me around to see the pictures. Always remember the melting clock.
Love Dali!!!
