My Current Favourite City

I suppose I'm a fickle traveler. When I gushed to my friend, Hashanti, about Rome: "I have to come back here one day, it's AMAZING!"
She laughed and said: You say that about every city!
Which, I think may be true... But now I've fallen in love with Florence, or Firenze. 

I'm not sure if it's the multicoloured marble of the cathedral...


Or the view of the city from the hill...


Or the fact that people like Michelangelo, Dante, Galileo Galilei and even Carlo Collodi (or Lorenzini; author of The Adventures of Pinocchio) frequented the city, but it just felt magical to me.

Other cities which I've fallen in love with and thought were the most AMAZING have been:

Rome
Istanbul
Istanbul is still on my top 5 list, definitely! Along with Paris.

Eiffel Tower, Paris

Near the Louvre, Paris
I've also enjoyed getting to know the waterways and alleyways of Venice. So glad I've gotten to spend some time in this beautiful city.

Santa Maria della Salute Church, Venice
But for now, Florence is my favourite. Amo Firenze!

Piazza della Signoria
