Flood of tourists everywhere on the square, can hear mixture of languages, Chinese, German,British, American English. But also you can meet locals here, easy to recognize them ;) Older ppl are really helpful, and with a small knowledge of Italian you can easily find the contact with them. Florence was always classed as one of the most distinguished and most developed city in Italy. Thanks to the competition during the centuries with other cities now Florence can be worthy be proud, as its citizens too.
Walking on the narrow, cobble-stoned streets of the capital of Tuscany feels like a time-travel back to the Renaissance ages... found myself in the cradle of history and arts.
Smiling faces, sunny day, perfect weather for a long walk!

Hostel-intro
In Florence was difficult to find a host on CS so we stayed in a hostel.
Comparing the price and the quality the result was pretty good.
The room was clean, well-equipped ( LCD-tv, private bathroom, towels, air conditioner, heater), staff was helpful and spoke English. Location was about 15 minutes walk from the Piazza del Duomo so was easy and fast to get to the center. Ok, one time we get lost...as the similar, paralell streets are confusing sometimes ;) But actually this adventure is another story, be suffice to say that to travel in a shopping cart which U found in the middle of the night on the street, is fun! ;)
Friday-night-fever, Florence at night ;)
On Friday night we decided to paint the town red, goin out and discover the night-life of Florence. Most of the pubs and clubs are located around the small streets of Piazza del Duomo. Ppl are everywhere, drinking, talking, living them social-Friday night. More ppl on the streets, outdoor, near the bars than inside. Cars are going very slowly here as not much place left to pass between the pavement and the crowd. Flood of tourists mostly British and Japanese, but also a lot locals here. Actually here are the most popular, most visited clubs in the city.
First we popped in to Soul Kitchen, a real Italian pub with young citizens of Florence. Enough to just sit with a beer or a glass of wine and study the ppl around how they live them social Friday night.
Twice is more a club than just a bar. Music is dance and electronic, the place is crowded with locals and also international young students, not much space to stay but it gives some unique atmosphere and brings you to the party mood.Don't live the place without dancing ! ;) Mandatory! :)
Moyo was my place, I mean the small bar had a great vibe inside. Stylish and glossy bar with an elegant look. Dj played on that night tech-house with good tribal rhythms. Me like! :)
