Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm going to show you how to do Florence on your own and see a whole lot more for less than what you'll get from the cruise lines.

This is the transfer I booked. It picks you up directly at the cruise terminal and takes you to a central location in Florence so that you can explore the entire city on your own.

Florence is a very walkable town and very quaint.

They cut it very little. They put it in a panino or in a dish and it's not really meat.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book a transfer from the cruise port to Florence to explore independently.
βœ“Visit the Central Market for diverse food options, including vegan and vegetarian stands.
βœ“Explore Piazza del Duomo and Ponte Vecchio for iconic Florence experiences.
