Our girls’ weekend getaway in Florence, Italy, my old hometown. Two of my girlfriends and I met in Florence for a long weekend. We stayed in an incredible Airbnb with views of the Ponte Vecchio, rode bikes around the city, ate local Florentine foods and drank Tuscan wine. See what we got up to in Florence, and see below for some ideas for what you should do while in Firenze.

Eating Italy (super local, great to support a small biz):
Fun in Tuscany – this is the #1 Tuscany tour I have recommended to friends and family for years, they always love it and it’s good value, plus you literally ride a Vespa through Tuscany… If Sam (Issam) is your guide please tell him Jess Dante says hello!
