Surprisingly compact and ridiculously beautiful, Florence, the capital of Tuscany truly deserves its “open air museum” nickname. The architecture in the city centre reminded me of Paris but for the absence of cars and scooters. Florence is a very walkable city. A lot of photography of Florence is very Duomo based and that’s the case everywhere where there are small number of “iconic” sights (think Paris and the Eiffel Tower) but looking back at the images that I made in Florence after I left I realized that mine too were quite Duomo and Ponte Vecchio based. I guess I will have to go back and mix things up a bit :))
