Florence is a city in Italy (Firenze in Italian) and is about 185 miles south of Milan. It was founded in 50 B.C., when Julius Caesar’s soldiers began building their barracks there, yet most of the city's architectural grandeur remains seemingly unchanged.
One of the most iconic sites in Florence is the Ponte Vecchio bridge. The picturesque view from there is nothing short of amazing and within walking distance to shopping, restaurants and of course… Gelato!Â
