Lost in Florence

Florence is renowned for its Renaissance art, yet this celebrated city is more than just a tourist hub for galleries filled with gilt-framed paintings. Go beyond the facade of the palazzi and instead take a turn down the cobblestone side streets to discover vintage stores housing designer names, creative bakeries and boutique hotels in 16th-century buildings. Lost in Florence is the culmination of the author's popular blog by the same name and offers a comprehensive guide to the very best places to eat, drink and explore in this magical Italian city.

A series of itineraries mean you can get the most of your visit, whether you have only a day or two or more, and daytrips to nearby places like Siena and Verona are also included. Italians pride themselves on a quality of life--la dolce vita--and with this beautifully designed guidebook, you will discover those unique travel experiences beyond the tourist haunts.
