Shopping tip:
Short walk from hotel
Of course, there are many, many sites in Florence, including the historical galleries and museums and leather shops/stands. But if you are a "foodie," DO NOT MISS the Mercato Centrale, just a short distance from the hotel. This shopping center (really, more like a huge farmer's market) rivals Pike's Market (Seattle), Granville Island Public Market (Vancouver) and the St. Lawrence (Toronto) for excellent food, bakeries, food stands / restaurants. If you are tired of Italian food (and if so, there is something wrong with you), try the German brot place (Wurstie's?) for a change of pace.
