  • My solo trip in Italy continues with a weekend in Florence. I truly enjoyed my time in this relaxed and history rich city. I loved visiting the Uffizi Gallery Museum and unexpectedly running into David at the Galleria dell Accademia. I ate amazing food, took great walks, and enjoyed the best ice cream in the city just outside my Airbnb. IT WAS GLORIOUSE and I highly recommend a weekend in Florence.

    Did you learn anything new??? ;0

      I learnt that maybe when we were there in 2019 we may have been able to get a decent place to stay in the city, we chose to pick places outside of the city area for cheaper accommodation prices. It did mean that we saw how people live further out though so that was fine.

      I loved the travel lockers! Every city should have some!

    Florence is a beautiful city and surprisingly affordable to visit . Ash, all the best!

    • @WAYAWAYWithAsh
      @WAYAWAYWithAsh  Před rokem +1

      It was definitely affordable especially if you go the first Sunday when museums are free! :)

    Thanks for sharing Ash!

      I was so surprised. I'll never forget walking around the corner and being shocked he was right Infront of me. lol

    Absolutely brilliant video from you Ash, love the many places you visited, the gallery museum was lovely but the food looks incredible too! Very much going to be heading to Florence this year especially after watching your video :) Have a lovely week!

    Ash I think you're already brave!! An American living abroad on her own with all the visa issues and all that. Very very brave indeed! 😁❤️

    • @WAYAWAYWithAsh
      @WAYAWAYWithAsh  Před rokem +1

      Thank you so much Mel!! It has not all been easy but I completely believe its all worth fighting for. Courage is a strength what ever way you look at it. :)

  • @mariezp
    @mariezp Před rokem +2

    Florence looks really nice. You have really inspired me to make a note to take advantage of more city tours in the future! Travel lockers are life savers (and back savers too!) when you have to be out of your room early but still have time to do something else before catching your train or flight.
    I loved your cute little Airbnb. I had a little giggle seeing the "Girl with the Pearl" in her swim goggles on your bathroom door. How appropriate for the subject of a famous painting to be integrated into the decor of your accommodations in such an art filled city!

    • @WAYAWAYWithAsh

      Thank you Cara. I can see why she loved it! That city leaves a mark on anyone who visits.

    I loved Florence when I visited. The museums were amazing. Tell us more about that wall of keys! So intriguing.

    • @WAYAWAYWithAsh
      @WAYAWAYWithAsh  Před rokem +2

      Such a fun little wall outside the focaccia place. Its a wall where if you have found or lost keys you can place them there in hopes that the owner will find them if lost. I love little community things like that!

    When we went to Florence , our fight home to the UK was in the evening.We went to the airport at Pisa, put our bags into the left luggage, and then went to visit the leaning tower.

  • @caromurray6152

    I haven’t been to Florence in many years, so it was lovely to see some of it again. The Air B & B looks fabulous-everything you need for a short stay. 😊

      @WAYAWAYWithAsh  Před rokem +1

      Awe I'm so glad you got to enjoy this city. Italy seems to have one amazing place after the other. I want to explore more places but I want to also go back and revisit the places I've been. haha Its a struggle

  • @jj-if6it
    @jj-if6it Před rokem +1

    I recommend going to that Piazza Michelangelo at sunset; it's the best time to go as you can get amazing photos of the city lit up with beautiful colours on the Duomo.

    I was in Florence in 1990, while living in Paris, but I don't remember much....
    Of course it's part of the itinerary for my next European trip!!

    When I first got there, I realized, their streets are like a labyrinth designed to test my navigation skills lol. I love this video because it reminds me so much when we visited it for our TV show.

  • @obligatorytraveler8292

    I never thought about that art was used to teach people before reading was so prevalent. I learned something new! Will think about this now when I go to an art museum

    I absolutely loved this video! Great tip on the luggage storage! I studied in Florence many many years ago, and next year my husband and I will return, this time with our kids! Such an incredible city, so very close to my heart ❤ What time of year we’re you visiting? Was this late fall? Keep up the great work! Happy travels!

    • @WAYAWAYWithAsh
      @WAYAWAYWithAsh  Před rokem

      Hey Jennifer! That sounds like so much fun to go back with your family. I'm sure all your wonderful memories will come flooding back. I would have loved to of heard them. I hope your kids are at an age they will apricate hearing about your experiences studying there. I did go late fall and it was perfect weather and not too crowded.

    Very cute Air B&B and it was great to have a place to store your luggage so close.
    I know at most hotels you can leave them at the bell desk after you check out. I never thought about what to do in that situation... so I did learn something new 😀

    I went to Florence 10+ years ago and took a sneaky photo of David when photos were banned haha. I liked the city cause it was small enough to just walk everywhere. Love the bridge with all the shops on it. Unfortunately I lost my bag of souvenirs from my Italy trip (inc Venice, Rome etc) so I will have to go back one day! The saddest part was I lost this little painting a girl had made of the Tuscan hills.

  • @jj-if6it
    @jj-if6it Před rokem

    Florence was one of my favourite parts of Italy, I found other places a bit dirty/dodgy. It's so easy to get around the country by train too.
