She may be dour and medieval from the outside, but she s also home to the greatest blaze of art the world has ever seen. Florence is so steeped in the fabulous Renaissance that it s easy to mistake that she s actually also rather a stylish little kitten and jam-packed with fantastic artisans.

More About the Author

Nine years ago the founder of LUXE City Guides, Grant Thatcher, was at a party in Singapore. He was told that if he were ever to go to Bangkok, then he must be sure to take the several A4 pages that he was now being handed, as they contained the best insider knowledge on the city. Everybody, it seemed, loved this saucy list.

Grant looked at the list. It seemed familiar. It looked exactly like the list he had written for friends before he left Bangkok. Shut up, and get out of here! Dong! It's true. The rest, as they say, is history.

This guide is great. You can carry it in a small handbag, and it has the top five of almost everything you might care for. Perfect for a couple of hectic tourism days in the city of Florence.

This review is from: LUXE Florence (3rd Edition) (LUXE City Guides) (Pamphlet)

I received the Florence guide from my friend in UK. I just spent 3 days in Florence and didn't expect much to do. By following the LUXE guides, I did go to many different key points without browsing the internet. This little book had the best restaurants, spas, hotels and galleries, etc. It was really useful and I bought the European travel grand box after this trip ;)

5.0 out of 5 stars If you are cool & hip ....this guide is for you, July 14, 2011

If you are not spending too much time in Florence, and you happen to be in Florence for the scene, the dining, the shopping, and the truly remarkable and unforgettable vibe of the city, this guide is for you. Take other books to read up on the city's history and museums. This guide doesnt have maps or photos. However, it makes your life easier by listing only the best and deciding for you what the best activities (inc. shopping, gardens, museums, restaurants, etc) are worth checking out. You def. have to have a personality and good humor to like their take, but once you like LUXE you will not be able to travel without them!
