Florence is somewhere I have always wanted to go because I
heard it has some of the best shopping! While Rome offered pretty good
shopping, Florence was a little better because it had adorable boutiques and
the leather market. The leather market is a (sometimes overwhelming) street of
leather purses, wallets, jackets, duffle bags, etc. that include some
knock-offs. The reason I say it is overwhelming is because if you look at a purse
for the slightest second, the owner will immediately try to bargain with you.
My sisters and I ended up all getting purses from the market. I was really
happy that I got one because it is a souvenir, but not an “I Love Florence”
T-shirt. Florence has a bridge of colorful buildings that looks like a mini
town and every store on the bridge is a jewelry store, which was really charming.
We found a really good Panini place (that was playing Justin Bieber’s music),
where you made your own Panini. For obvious reasons I enjoyed my time there.
The best part of Florence was the Christmas decorations and how it looked like
I was walking in a dream. It was so beautiful, even at night. We shopped as
much as we could, but then made our way to our last stop: Venice!
