Italian phrase books always help on a visit to the country, especially its important cities. You cannot find many people who speak English and therefore getting hold of this book is very much handy. You will be on the safer side too.
Florence is subject the Mediterranean climate which brings along with it hot, sultry summers and soggy cold winters. The best time for you to think about a Florence City break would be during the months of May and April. You will be saved the heat as well as the summer crowds if you opt for a break during these months. Your stay is equally pleasant if you visit the city in autumn.
Swarming with pedestrians, the Via dei Calzaiuoli is really quite an interesting street where you can set out on a shopping spree. Shops, cafes as well as numerous historical attractions greet you all along the way. The street is a good place to be in, if you are along with your family. Something your kids’ will love too as they can wander around without much trouble from the motorized traffic.
Spark up your kid’s imagination by halting at and spending some time at this park. As a Trip advisor guest puts it ““Pinocchio Park is a park of statues, not a ‘theme park.” Each statue shouts out a story and this can get your children shouting with glee. Try telling them the original stories if you know it, before they start guessing their own!
But however, do not go for it if you are not a fan of Pinocchio and if you are not with your children. The Pinocchio Park is a good place to be with your kids!
