💡 Travel tips for Florence

• 💡🔑 Local tip: If you want a good Chianti wine, ask the sommelier to recommend a lesser‑known winery; wines from the Radda area are usually more affordable and of excellent quality.
• 💡Buy tickets for the Galleria degli Uffizi in advance to avoid long queues.
• 💡Carry a bottle of water and a snack; the heat can be intense in summer.
• 💡Wear comfortable shoes; the stone streets can be slippery.
