Episode Details

Local guide Francesca Ermini maps out a perfect day in Florence, starting early near the Duomo, crossing the Arno into Oltrarno, and ending at Piazzale Michelangelo as the afternoon light drops. From a 13th century church most visitors walk straight past, to craftsmen working behind unmarked doors, to the iris garden that opens for just a few weeks each spring. Florence is a dream and it is worth exploring past the main checklist attractions.
