great video!! going on a solo in August to Spain and Florence. Great tip about the audio tour, i just downloaded it.
This was fun and informative. I love how you pointed out standing at Caffe Gilli to enjoy your coffee. It does save money and time. Safe travels.
This was such a fun video to watch. Thanks for sharing. I'm going there in October so I'm tryna learn as much as I can before I experience this solo too
Thank you so much for this video on solo travel to Florence. I will be stepping out for my first solo trip (also to Florence) this summer and my biggest concern are the eating out alone and personal safety. You touched on both and gave some great tips. I think the food tour would be a great way to eat out and not be so conspicuously on your own.
Thanks for your great video. I'm a solo female traveler as well. I love all your tips and will definitely use them when I visit Florence 😊
Love a room tour! Thanks for sharing all the little details :)
Lovely video. Getting me excited for my Florence trip 🎉
i started following you bc of your study abroad videos before I also studied abroad in Florence and seeing all these streets that I also used to walk down just made me very emotional :')
Aw, so glad I could virtually take you back! Thanks for sticking around since then :)
No way! I ate at Cafe Gilli when I was there! So cute! Amazing video!!!
Excellent video! Thanx so much for brining back so many beautiful memories! Panini Toscani was our favorite too! Edoardo was amongst the best gelato shops too. We also adored La Strega Nocciola near Ponte Vecchio, on the Oltrarno side. Again, thank you for this awesome video Emily. Greetings from Greece, Mirella and Panos!
PS: the walnut panino is so amazing!!!
Glad you enjoyed! I’ll have to check out La Strega Nocciola next time I’m in Florence!
Thank you for this video! I'm taking my first solo trip and chose Florence sometime in October or November of this year and I'm so excited!
Hope you have a great trip!
Loved this !
This is really cool, thanks Em
I'm a bit more aged than you and I'm doing a solo around natural locations / wonders of Italy in Sept / Oct.
You've given some useful info and courage to look forward to my travels.
Thanks again.
Hope you have a great trip!
So pleased I visited Florence and Venice in 1973😮 because there were people but not having to queue or book Phew.
It’s put me off going back.
Aaahh, Florence! The city of Dante, the city of Leonardo, the most unique place of Italy.
I've been following you since Florence, I actually studied abroad there too in 2019! I miss it so much, I felt like I was going down memory lane with you! And Osteria Santo Spirito is the best, I lived right around the corner, literally across the street from Gusta Pizza. Their gnocchi is incredible!
Aw that makes me so happy! 💕It was so nice to be back. I can’t believe I hadn’t made it to Osteria Santo Spirito before. Now I want to go back and try the gnocchi!
Love it! I think this one is my favorite.
Yay! Thank you!
The Mercato was so close to my apartment when I was there last semester! Def would go back to visit now that I know my way around the city! Pls tell me you visited Piazza Michelangelo lol
love the video！
Very nice. My wife and I are about to stay in the Oltrarno and we enjoyed your video very much.
How you have a great time!
I am going on 19th of march so excited 🎉
Enjoy!
I am planning a solo trip to Italy and Greece. Did you feel safe walking along at night? For example, watching the sunset at Piazza Michelangelo then walking back to hotel or dinner alone? Thanks. Great video !
My wife and I stopped in Florence as part of a Mediterranean cruise in 2015. Loved the history and culture, I will be taking my brother in law and nephew there next October so they can experience it.
Enjoy your trip next year!
@@emily_meadows thank you
Great Video. Thanks for the info and reccomendations
I'm going to Florence on Monday. Whats a better view from the top the Bell Tower or the Duomo? Cant decide which one to climb.
Sorry for the late response! I’d recommend the bell tower so you have a view of the Duomo, but I’m sure both are great!
@@emily_meadows No worries. Haha I wasn't sure so in the end I did the Bell Tower. Got some amazing photos. Thanks for the response
Out of curiosity, was the salad as good as you remembered?
Also love your videos ❤️
Actually, not really :( it was still good, but I think it was missing something. I feel like it was supposed to have raisins or dried cranberries.
Glad you like the videos, thanks for watching!! ❤️
Question: what is the way to travel in Florence? Like, in Paris, everyone uses the subway. What about in Florence? It's waaay to big to walk all around the city....
There’s a tram from the airport to the city center and some people take taxis, Vespas, or bikes. However, the city is very walkable. The main areas where most tourist attractions are are pretty compact even if the city itself is more spread out. Hope that helps!
How do you get from the train station to your accommodation?
I walked! Florence is really compact, so it was only a 15 minute walk.

How was the language barrier there if you cant speak Italian. I can only speak Spanish 😂
Almost everyone in Florence also speaks English, so it was easy for me to communicate. I’m not sure about Spanish though.
