The first time I visited Florence was in 1990. I had never been to Italy before and it was very exciting to step out of the central station, La Stazione della Santa Maria Novella, and into the ancient streets. The immediate impression I had was that everything is all four or five hundred years old. I felt like I had travelled back in time half a millennium. The first historical place I visited was the Uffizi Palace, the main art gallery, which houses paintings by artists such as Sandro Botticelli Michelangelo, and Raphael amongst many others. After completing a round tour of all those extraordinary works of art, I found a quiet little cafe in which to relax with a truly authentic cappuccino. There is a vast choice of cafes and restaurants all around the Uffizi Gallery and almost everywhere in Florence. In this town you are never more than a stone's throw from somewhere to try Italian cuisine. After visiting the Uffizi, I decided to investigate the magnificent Pitti Palace. It was located a short stroll across the Ponte Vecchio and adjacent to the delightful Boboli Gardens. This magnificent 14th century palace is a 'must-see'. I strongly recommend spending at least a week in Florence to take in all the beautiful art and architecture and needless to say, to enjoy some culinary delights this town has to offer.
