Ponte Vecchio is one of the most iconic landmarks in Florence. This historic bridge is adorned with charming little shops and arches across the Arno River. Be warned: it is quite touristy but still worth a visit! 

We can't deny the charm of a typical Italian caffettiera - old men sipping espresso & chatting about nothing in particular, not a sleek corner in sight - but we do welcome a bit of the third wave every now and again. Ditta Artigianale is a cool spot for craft coffee and light brunch bites.

This tiny Florentine gem serves up organic gelato made from regional ingredients. Indulge in fresh mint, creamy chocolate or refreshing lemon sorbet. A must-visit in charming Piazza della Passera!

Hotel Portrait Firenze is a sophisticated boutique boutique hotel in the heart of Florence. Don't miss the enchanting River View suites, offering postcard-worthy views of Ponte Vecchio and Palazzo Pitti.
