Straight talk
Is Florence worth it?
Yes, for the classics: art, bridges and a center small enough to walk.
The catch: Ponte Vecchio is packed at midday. Go early in the morning or after dinner, when the bridge is yours.
Best day trip: take the train to Cinque Terre in the morning and come back on the last train.
