Have you ever been to Florence or would you like to?

I love Florence!
I have been there 3 or even 4 times however not for a long time.
It is a very small place, full of history however I would always get lost and end up going round and round in circles.

It is a fascinating place and one I would recommend to anyone going to Europe.

Hi Finy, YES I've been there! Please read my short answer to your question below!

Sorry Finy, I don't know the name of the river your referring too. I can't even remember what we did there. I don't even know if I took any b/w photos of the trip.

I have never been to Europe but I would love to travel across the continent with my family at some point. I would love to especially see the old landmarks of not just Italy but Spain, France and Greece.

No. I haven't been to Florence, but we will go there at some stage. We are going to Europe next year, and we are visiting 7 countries, but Italy isn't on the agenda. My husband can only get a certain amount of time off work. We are still young, so next time we go, we will visit Italy, most likely.

by Rice

do u also love Sandra Bullock??

Love her to bits. Will watch her in anything. I think she seems so genuine.

me too Rice!! Odd that we both like her...

You feel that German affinity for her, Finy :-))

German? I just like her face, and her ac ting - something about her that I find appealing so I watch all her movies!

> I find it quite delightful when Sandra speaks German.

I have not, but I am very excited to visit Florence on my honeymoon next year!

I have never had the good fortune to visit Florence,though it would have to be one of the places in the world which holds immense attraction for me. I shall now have to make do with seeing its magical allure through documentaries and books.

No, but as an Art, & History of Art student, would love to, especially interested in the artwork of the great Michelangelo!

by donjo

Yes I have, it's a beautiful city. Will get back there at some stage.

by poppy

hooray, Poppy, at last someone else has been there!

Yes, I was there with my mother, on a 2 week bus trip through Italy, from Paris, (where I was living for a few months, in '68,) but only for a day or 2. It's a lovely city.

that makes only two of us who have answered - not many! It is such a small place yet I always got lost trying to get to the river Arno, is it?
