Florence for first-timers

It was easy to book the tickets for Galleria dell'Accdemia in advance, with the app the access to your tickets is very handy and upon arrival I could skip the line.

The purchase was quick and excellent, for Gallerie Uffici in Florence. It was really crowded, we had to wait in a long line, but the museum is wonderful.

I really liked that the routes opened up our horizon to different places we never even thought of visiting. It was accessible and employees were very nice and history was very interesting, but sometimes it started too early before we got to see the view it was talking about. Also had issues with the app where it shows when the buss will arrive at the specific station but it never matched nor it gave accurate time as to when it will come. Once it did not come at all and the app did not have that information. Overall good experience

We rode the Eurostar from London to Paris. Bought the Global 10 day pass first, and now all the train journeys are so cheap to secure seats. Paris is amazing in Autumn and if this is off peak, then I couldn't cope with more people. Such a busy city. Off to Switzerland tomorrow on another train adventure.

This 3-day ticket to explore all the monuments in the Piazza del Duomo is really great. Depending on the heat and the queues, you may not be able to go up to the Bell tower and the capulla della cathedral next, as there are a lot of stairs and it's very hot in the passageways. So take your time and go several times.
