Florence, "Firenze" in Italian, is one of the ancient cities of Italy. It is where the Renaissance began 500 years ago, so the city is surrounded by an "artistic atmosphere''. The style of building of the churches of Florence is very different from those of Rome or Venice. I can't describe how they are different in here becuase of my poor English, but when you get there, you should have the same feeling as me. What I am happy about Florence is the food. There is a food stall on Via Sant'Antonino selling 牛什包 (Guts of cow)!!! Have you ever thought of eating the guts of cow in Italy?? I am sure the owner should have been Hong Kong before becuase the 牛什包 is served with 辣椒醬 and 薑蓉!! Delicious!! Gelato is very cheap in Florence too.
Pisa is just one hour train ride away from Florence. Piazza dei Miracoli is the only place to go in Pisa. You can find the leaning tower there. Spend half day in Pisa is sufficient.
Siena is the most preserved ancient city of Italy and is one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites. I personally like Siena most among all italian cities I have visited. It gave me a peaceful feeling. Piazza del Campo is of the right size, not too large, not too small. I felt very comfortable when sat on the floor of the Piazza.
