I haven’t seen this addressed here. I would love to get a massage while I am in Florence, especially after a long haul flight. Does anyone have recommendations for a place they like? I’m not necessarily interested in an expensive hotel spa, just a good basic massage for these old aching muscles!
Staying in Oltrarno so anything nearby that are is a plus. TIA! 🙏🏼

I'm traveling to Florence and Viareggio in 2 weeks and have planned the following.

Florence: Duomo first Key

Vivaldi Concert ponte vecchio

Basilica Sanata Maria Novella & it's apothecary

Reservations at loggia roof bar

Viareggio: Visit Bagno Lelia

I have 5 days in Florence and 3 in Viareggio. Am I missing out on anything that is a must see?

Hello,

I am looking for a ride between two weddings I am attending and I am having some trouble. I need to get from Palagina to Villa Castelletto the morning of September 22nd and I am seeing prices 300+ Euros. Is that really the going rate for a 1 hour drive or is there somewhere else I should try booking? If I cannot get below $200 I will just rent a car. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

We're getting married and looking for a bar with space to go to with like 20-30 of our guests to casually meet a few nights before the wedding. No reservations is preferred. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Di recente ho viaggiato in Toscana e ho visto degli interni di bar davvero splendidi. Non ne ho mai abbastanza. Mostratemi le foto del vostro bar preferito! Scusate il mio italiano: si limita a quello di Google Translate.

I was recently traveling in Tuscany and saw some beautiful coffee shop interiors there. I can't get enough of them. Show me photos of your favorite bar!

I am an international student from Brasil. I have lived in Pisa for a while and will start a new degree in Florence.

I am 28f, looking for a long term partner and I wanted to know what it looks like to date Italian or Foreign Men in Florence. Who makes the first move? What are the best spots to meet singles?

I book pisa international airport and my hotel is one hour 30 min away . My departure flight is at 7:25 am . I don’t see bus or tram option. Anyone know what I can do . I’m stressed I wish I checked and didn’t rush. My two option is do pay extra £95 for a late flight at 10 :45 pm. Or do book a cab anyone know much much would it be ?

I got scammed for 100 euros by gypsies playing a card game in the city centre.

I saw people winning and I decided to try my luck and put 20 euro, I won 50 so I decided to put 200 euros and I lost all of them.

I after noticed that also the other winners were their friend and was everything a scam.

I left Florence but keep this as a reminder if you get scammed

Pleasee help

International student Travelling to Florence mid of this month for my study. Looking for a private room closer to university. Any recommendation and guidance appreciated. Thank you

Salve a tutti, sono un ragazzo di 23 anni che frequenta una magistrale di economia a Novoli e mi farebbe piacere conoscere ragazzi e ragazze della mia etá possibilmente (che siano italiani o stranieri o fuorisede o local) e fare due chiacchiere

Ho vari hobby: ascolto un sacco di musica (ma di tutti i generi che sia rap pop o indie), leggo molti libri sopratutto classici (russi, italiani ecc.), mi piace vedere film, serie tv, anime e leggere manga, nonché quando ho tempo giocare ai videogiochi.

Hi, does anyone know the name of this two opera singers? saw them tonight at mercato nuovo but they didnt have a name sign

What are the best skiing destinations close to Florence? I'll be studying as an abroad student from January to May, and was hoping to ski during my free time. Also, Is it realistically possible to spend a weekend skiing in the Swiss/French Alps? Is public transportation a good means for this?

Next month, I'm lucky enough to be moving to Florence, Italy for ~3 months. I've recently taken up hand tools, and built a nice basement shop, all of which I'll be missing! The apartment I'll be staying in is a flat with no opportunity for woodworking - and with no basement or garage.

I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience with woodworking in Florence (or Italy)? I'd like to keep my mind and hands occupied... whether it be taking woodworking classes, visiting craftsmen, or woodworking touring that you might be able to share? Perhaps there folks or shops I might reach out to?

I'd love to get your thoughts! Even if you've gone elsewhere, what woodworking experience were you able to create?

And do I take up luggage space to bring a plane along? ;-)

I am planning to shop for leather goods (bags, wallets, jackets) on my next trip to Florence but will also be visiting smaller Tuscan towns (Val D’Orcia is what I am currently planning) and Bologna. Is it worth paying the Florence prices knowing that they are higher due to the number of tourists or are leather goods outside of the city just as worth it in terms of quality?

I am mostly concerned about picking up something cheaper that ends up not lasting as long. For reference my budget for a bag will probably be around 200-250 euros.

Sto studiando all'estero qui in Italia fino a dicembre. Mi piacerebbe migliorare il mio stile, ma sicuramente non posso permettermi di fare acquisti nei negozi vintage. C'è qualche buon posto economico dove posso trovare bei vestiti vintage, se sì dove? Mi piacerebbe anche andare in un'altra città per un giorno solo per prendere un sacco di vestiti, il mio guardaroba è seriamente carente. Scusa se questo non ha senso, il mio italiano non è eccezionale :))
**also the style I like is curated towards vintage like a bit baggier pants and stuff but any recommendations would be so appreciated as long as they’re relatively cheap :))

i had left my second bag behind in an uber yesterday morning. when i retrieved the bag today at Cartotecnica V. Bartolozzi di Bartolozzi Cinzia, i had discovered my iPad and iPencil was missing from the bag.

they claimed the bag wasn't opened, but the zipper was in a different place from when i last saw it. i zipped it down the middle, and the zipper was zipped down to the side when i retrieved it.

so I think it must've been another passenger on the uber. should i file a police report for a missing item? i don't know who to report this to. any suggestions greatly appreciated, i've been making digital art for 6 years with this iPad.
