Florence, Italy Port Reviews

Loved this place. Smaller than Rome but so many interesting places to explore. To me it was like a time capsule. Everything was so quaint & old fashioned. Loved some of the art works also

Florence is a beautiful city, with a lot of historic buildings and monuments. On my cruise I went to Rome too, but to my opinion, Florence is a better looking city. It's not a big city, so you can walk from one historic building to the other easily. And during that small walk you can see other old and beautiful buildings. Florence is truly a city that should be on your bucket list.

One of the most beautiful places if you like looking at buildings and statues then this is a must. The town centre was lovely with its markets and modern stores

Livorno did nothing for us, so im glad we did an excursion to Pisa.

Did the excursion from the ship. Was a good day! First stop was Pisa and had a great time getting pictures. Then onto Florence where we saw amazing historical churches and the (outside) Statue of David. Had some exploring time after our included pasta lunch!
