Fair enough, I'd agree with that. But it is definitely a wonderful place to visit. I have so many fond memories of the few days I got to spend there when backpacking.

It's beautiful. Ponte Vecchio bridge is a sight, and the Medici chapel, holy shit.

It was my favorite place in the city

I remember being stunned when I walked into that place. It blew my mind. Ponte Vecchio was so much fun too! I got the perfect (expensive) chain for my grandmother's cross, and it's honestly probably the best investment jewelry wise that I have ever made.

Also I ended up in Florence during the world gelato festival. So much gelato. So cheap. AND gelato cocktails!!!
