Florence, IT

Florence, IT

Hi Guys and Girls, my wife is heading over to Florence, IT next week for business and since business is slow, im going with her! She’ll be at work from 9 to 9 everyday, so any recommendations on what to do all day for a week! All advice would be appreciated! I like fine dining, watches, bad ass cars. Shopping is fun as well.

If you have never been to Florence, you must do some sightseeing. In particular, you should visit the Duomo and the Uffizi Museum (that's where Michaelangelo's David is).

For shopping, you must hit the Ponte Vecchio - best jewelry shopping in Florence (possibly in Italy). The Florentine gold jewelry is exquisite.

Then there's the gelatto shop just off the near end of the Ponte Vecchio that you must try.

Here are three restaurants worth checking out:

Ristorante Osir
Viale S. Lavagnini, 22/24
50129 Florence
Italy
(Sorry, no phone number for it)

Trattoria Omero
Via Pian dei Giullari
Arcetri
Florence
Italy
Tel: +39 (0) 55 220053

Procacci
Via Tornabuoni, 64R
50123 Florence
Italy
Tel: 39 055 /211656

Have a great trip. Florence is a wonderful city.
