"Expats in Florence appreciate the city's rich history and culture, which is evident in its stunning architecture, art, and cuisine. They also enjoy the relaxed pace of life, with plenty of opportunities to explore the city's many parks, gardens, and outdoor markets. The friendly locals are also a major draw, with their warm hospitality and willingness to share their culture with visitors. Additionally, the city's vibrant nightlife and diverse range of cultural events make it a great place to live and explore," remarked another expat in Florence, Italy.
"Italians love to be outdoors and there are often outdoor markets and festivals to go to. Italians dress very well and they are amusingly stylish and make for great people-watching at any time. Small shops are great for establishing a regular rapport with owners. A medieval building with modern decor inside is always amusing. Florence is a place where you can walk around and actually picture what life could've been like in medieval times. The countryside is beautiful and definitely picturesque. The wine is fantastic and sitting in cafes can be a leisurely past time. Sitting in ancient piazzas and seeing beautiful works of art can be breath taking. I do like the shopping here as well," said a member in Florence, Italy.
