Our Exquisite Italian "Anniversamoon"

Route: Oltrarno Neighbourhood, Florence, Italy
Travel Story
We had a tiny destination wedding, knowing we would wait to enjoy our "honeymoon" for our first anniversary. This gave us time to plan the trip of our dreams, part of which included visiting Italy for the first time! Florence was recommended over & over again; for good reason. Our infatuation with Florence was instantaneous...she is as lovely & irresistible as stories would have us believe. Few cities are as enjoyable to wander aimlessly through as this one. Besides getting up early to soak in the empty city with Sonya, our Flytographer photographer, one of our favorite memories is trekking to the top of Piazzale Michelangelo, grabbing some wine, and watching the sun set over the river & rooftops...it was absolutely stunning. (And food...all the food.)
Travel Tips
For an incredible panoramic view of the city & fantastic cocktails, definitely make your way to the rooftop bar of Sesto on Arno. For truly authentic Italian gelato (recommended to us by a local: our Flytographer photographer!), head over to Gelateria La Carraia. If you're looking for amazing Italian leather goods (jackets, purses, etc.), Katian Boutique is where you want to go! Daniel & Catalina will make you feel like family before you leave! And this place is a touch on the touristy side, but we enjoyed it so much that we thought it's worth mentioning: snag a table at Signorvino Firenze. It's open & over the river and provides a beautiful view and place to chill.
