Worthwhile attractions in Florence, Rome and Naples
I'll be traveling to Italy soon and I've browsed through many a travel guide, but I'd really appreciate feedback from people who've been to any of these cities. Anywhere in particular that I should absolutely visit? I'm up for anything...shopping, galleries, museums, gardens, historical sites, festivals, places to eat.
Thanks!
I really enjoyed the Boboli Gardens in Florence near the Ponte Vecchio bridge (worth seeing too) We got the red topless tour bus thing, it has 2 routes and 1 of them takes you to nearby village Fiesole which looks over Florence giving stunning views. Michelangelo's David is in the Accademia Gallery and is stunningly beautiful but there wasn't much else of note in there. We waited 90 mins to get in but if in Florence more than a day it's worth paying 3-4 more Euros for an advanced ticket which gives you a specific entry time and avoids crazy queueing action.
In Rome highlights included The Trevi fountain, climbing the Copulla at St. Peter's Cathedral (enter on the right of the church) and the Roman Forums right beside the Colosseum. We got a Roma Pass from the hotel for €20 which gave you unlimited Metro and bus travel for 3 days and access to 2 tourist attractions which would have cost €10 each anyway so well worth it. It lets you skip any big queue too!
Didn't make it as far as Naples sorry.
