Italy.

Florence looks very young despite of the age of buildings and city itself. There are scooters everywhere and young people walking down the streets and sitting on the grass. The Florence as compared with Venice seems to be much less touristic and still has its own life. Venice seems to live by tourism only ;-(.

The biggest impression of our visit to Florence was the top of Duomo. You climb to long staircase, go around cupola base and then climb again. When you think this stairs will never finish you're seeing a light and 10 seconds later you're on top of one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

Museum of Florence have the greatest collection of Rafael, Michelangelo, Botichelli etc. There was the biggest queue in Italy to Uffizi. You should wait about an hour to come into museum. Unfortunately we didn't attend Piti gallery. I heard they have collection comparable to Uffizi's one but it's far less crowded.

Walking around Florence is very exciting. Every cathedral and church and street has it's own coloring. Maybe I'm a little preconceived but Florence is my favorite city in Italy.
