Plan a trip to Florence but never wait in line.
It has over a year now since my ex-boyfriend and I visited Florence, Italy. We were there in September the year before. It was a very short trip – - we had a total of 5 days between the city of Florence and Rome. I had been to Rome before but not in Florence. I really wanted to see the Statue of David by Michelangelo – I would not miss that for the world. There were only several places to see in Florence so we made sure that we saw them all.
My partner was in charge of the itinerary. We purchased most of the tours beforehand and it was a good thing. If you only saw the lines to the Uffizi Gallery, you will die! The reason for the long lines is self-explanatory. The Uffizi Gallery houses much of the most treasured artwork of all time. You will be able to take a glimpse of Da Vinci’s Annunciation and The Adoration of the Magi, Carravagio’s The Sacrifice of Isaac, and Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus to name a few. It is a wonderful collection and if you love art like I do, you will be awed by Uffizi Gallery’s beauty. It was a wonder to behold, a treasure to keep in your memory forever.
While we were there, we couldn’t have asked for better weather. The temperature was about 70 degrees (F), and the sun was bright as it could be. Falling in line wouldn’t be as bad with that kind of weather but what if it was raining or 90 degrees? I wish we had more time but I’m glad that my partner pre-purchased our tickets to the Uffizi Gallery, otherwise we would be falling in line forever. So, my advice to you fellas who are going to visit Florence – pre-purchase your tickets to the Uffizi Gallery to avoid the hassle. Most specially, if you have a limited time to visit. Believe me, you would be glad you did.
