Wow!

You have just arrived in your amazing hotel, located in the heart of the most beautiful town of the world…you have to be happy! :)

Now, maybe you are going to sleep for a while, since the jet leg may confuse your life for few days…but then…what could you do? Surely eating…for this reason there are very accurate pages on this blog: http://personalconciergeflorence.wordpress.com/food/

Then, since your hotel is the best, the concierge manager will give you all the information needed to have a pleasant stay in town: a map, all the indications where you can find what basing on your interests, etc…

In case you are in the second hotel of the town and they don’t have a concierge service or if you arranged your trip before to arrive, because a gentle, young lady wrote a blog…here I am to give you few useful information (or maybe just few tips!) !

I am sure you already visited the Official Tourist Portal of the town. Didn’t you? 😉

In case you want to receive brochures and maps before your trip, don’t hesitate to contact me in private (yourpcflorence@gmail.com). I will be very glad to send you some!

In case you didn’t contact me, first of all I would go to one of the Tourist Information Office we have in town, where you can find maps, brochures and updated activities of the events we are going to have during your holidays.

Now you know where your hotel is, where the main sites of interest and the museums are (http://personalconciergeflorence.wordpress.com/museums/ and http://personalconciergeflorence.wordpress.com/useful-information/main-sites-of-interest/ ) and you can think on which activities you can do, because you found all the information on the amazing brochures you found at the tourist information office, and on this website!

Maybe you don’t know the center of Florence is pretty small and everything is walkable distance. Also Piazzale Michelangelo and Fiesole are easily reachable on foot or with the public transports (please visit the page http://personalconciergeflorence.wordpress.com/useful-information/main-sites-of-interest/ ).

A nice idea to have a fast look at the town is to take one of the Hop-on/Hop-off bus of the Company City Sightseeing: http://www.firenze.city-sightseeing.it/eng/ and http://www.firenze.city-sightseeing.it/depliant_fi.pdf

A very nice idea, is to contact me or your hotel concierge/travel agent and ask to arrange for a private, guided tour in your language, with a certified guide. Of course this is much more expensive, but it worth to be done!

Now…you already red all my suggestions, your Agency arranged a perfect trip, your hotel is the best, you know what to do: go and have fun!!!
