Yesterday we independently went to Florence on the train. It was a piece of cake, 1 hr. 20 minute ride for 12 Euros per person, round trip VS. $89 for the RSSC transfer on the bus to Florence.
We hit the highlights....Accademia Museum where we saw Michelangelo's David and other gorgeous art work dating back to 1300's, Piazza del Duomo with the gorgeous cathedral with the golden doors. We rode a city bus around Florence just to take it all in and walked most places. We had a nice lunch and later ice cream cones. We found Florence very doable on our own.
Here are the last two links to our photos.
