There is a merry-go-round in the square for adults and children, and there is one of the oldest cafés in Florence next to it. From here www.biquge.info you can cross the Ponte Vecchio or the statue-filled Piazza della Florence Municipal, which takes about 6 or 7 minutes to walk on both sides. Yunluo and An first met the municipal square.

In addition to the famous Uffizi Gallery, there are replicas of the statue of David, as well as the Fountain of Neptune, the equestrian statue of Cosimo I, etc., and there is also a special rooftop next to it, where there are many statues that I don't know if they are genuine or replicas. There are two paid art galleries in this square, one is the famous Uffizi Gallery.

One is the Old Palace, don't go wrong! The Uffizi Gallery is on a path outside the square, very close to the Palazzo Vecchio, and the entrance to the Palazzo Vecchio is next to David, so it's easy to go the wrong way the first time. Tickets for the museum are 8 euros a ticket, and there are events on Valentine's Day and Women's Day, and the museum is closed on Mondays and open until 6 p.m. at other times.

Tickets to the Palais Vecchio are 10 euros a piece, if you want to climb to the top (again!) It's also 10 euros, but a combined ticket for both goes for 14 euros. The opening hours of the Palazzo Vecchio vary from one year to 24 o'clock, the bell tower to 9 o'clock, and the latest at 7 p.m......

Because there are so many art galleries, museums and statues in the whole of Italy, Yunluo and An easily turned the Palazzo Vecchio as the Uffizi Gallery when they first met, and walked in it for most of the day...... o(╯□╰)oHere I also want to remind friends who want to go to the art museum, don't see the gorgeous gate next to David and go in!

If you walk another 30 meters, you will be a real art museum! Yunluo has a special mention for the last dinner, because of the Italian food that failed several times, Yunluo and An Chuyu finally couldn't bear to go to the McDonald's Sea next to Florence to have a meal, and then ...... I was scared by the gorgeous bill......

17.5 euros for two people, or the most common hamburger, a pack of fries and a drink that Yunluo and An first met in China!

It is also the day when the Pope will appear in St. Peter's Square, in front of St. Peter's Basilica, to receive the faithful. St. Peter's Square, which is said to have a capacity of 65,000 people, has been filled with chairs since April 19, when Yunluo and Ann first met (it seems that the Pope comes out to receive the faithful only a few days a year).

Before you see the Pope, you also need to have a special admission ticket, this admission ticket is given out for free, you can ask the Vatican soldiers standing guard next to St. Peter's Basilica to get it, the soldiers will ask a few questions, only if you indicate why you want to see the Pope. After seeing what the Pope is going to ask him, the soldier will give you a ticket if he thinks it's OK.

(Don't ask Yunluo why he knows...... Because Yunluo and An first met at the time, they were watching a team of people take turns to tease Brother Xiaobing in the square, but because Yunluo and An had already gone to Florence when they first met, they didn't go to the queue to flirt) Today's itinerary is to go to themall, a discount village near Florence, to buy and buy.

There are several ways to get to this discount village, the most cost-effective is to take the bus near the central train station. 5 euros per ticket, departure starts at 9 a.m., and then every half hour. But let's be honest, it's best to be at the station around 8:40, because there are very, very many Asians who go here every day to wholesale luxury goods.

When the first bus Yunluo and An first met, it took 3 double-decker buses to finish...... The drive from Florence to themall takes about 50 minutes. If you take the first bus, even if you arrive early, the doors of the luxury stores will not open, and the business hours here are 10 o'clock sharp.

Generally, new products are released at the beginning of each month, and Prada and Gucci are flagship stores, and the discounts are very large! So before the door opens, people can queue up here for more than 30 meters. In addition to Prad and Gucci (including its sub-brands such as MumiEIU), there are also big names such as Ermenegildo Zegna, Burberry, Balenciaga, Lavin and many more......

Basically, it's all big Italian or British big names. There are no stores in France for Chanel and LV here, so please pay attention if you want to buy and buy. As for the strength of the discount, Yunluo should be able to see at a glance that a suit of Burberry is 499 euros. Trench coat 299 euros (there are also 599 euros available).

And! Best of all, if you buy more than 155 euros, you can get a 22% tax refund! So a suit is actually 390 euros, which is equivalent to RMB2700...... Cheaper than a set of selected...... So if you want to go shopping, please arrange at least half a day here to make a little bit of fun and buy.

But there are also disadvantages in the discount village, where all the big-name basic, new, and hot-selling models are invisible here! For example, if you want a Burberry classic scarf, sorry no! If you want Prada's killer bag, sorry no! So if you want to buy these models, please go to the flagship store to buy them.

Especially the flagship store in Florence, with all kinds of new models and sizes, don't miss it when you pass by! The Milan flagship store is fully booked by fashionistas! themall but buy, buy, buy. There's nothing else to say, the only thing to note is that the bus after 4 o'clock is every hour (before it was every half an hour).

It's better to go and line up in advance, otherwise you won't be able to get up at all...... Back in Florence, I took advantage of the beautiful sunset and Ann Chuyu to go to Ponte Vecchio. This is one of the most famous bridges in Florence. On both sides of the bridge are ancestral handmade goldsmith shops. If you want to buy jewelry, you can check it out here.

But it basically closes at 6 p.m. In the end, it is still about dinner, in view of the fact that McDonald's is too expensive, Yunluo and An Chuyu chose Burger King, not far from McDonald's, to eat this time (well, it's so unproductive)! The result is really unexpectedly delicious (maybe Yunluo and An are poor stomachs when they first meet)!

About 22 euros for two people, the burger can be served with bacon and cheese, and each condiment is 1 euro. Yunluo must say that this is the best meal Yunluo has ever had in Italy......

The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore is the main attraction mainly concentrated in the northern area. The southern part is dominated by residential areas and hills. On the hill there is a very famous Piazzale Michelangelo. From the central train station, it is about 2 kilometers to Piazzale Michelangelo, a 30-minute walk, but it is particularly strenuous because it requires a climb.

This square has a very famous replica of the sculpture - David! As well as being able to see the whole city of Florence from afar, it is famous. Many tourists and cyclists visit here every day. Today's itinerary is mainly arranged in Venice, so Yunluo and An Chuyu did not stop in Florence.

At noon, I got on the train and headed to Venice, the water city. Florence is just over 2 hours away from Venice, so if you're not staying on the main island, you can leave early. And the more pitiful thing is that Venice has two stations, veneziamestre and veneziaslucia.

The relationship between the two stations across the sea also takes 30 minutes by car, so pay attention to buying tickets. If you live on the island, you must buy a ticket for Veneziaslucia, otherwise you will have to carry your luggage for 30 minutes. Unlike most of Italy, Venice was previously an independent state called the Duchy of Venice.

And very boastful and self-sufficient, so the ticket is more expensive than in Italy. It's hard to see ice cream parlors all over other cities, and there don't seem to be too many fast food outlets...... The road is only one person wide, and sometimes it is easy to make mistakes when looking at the map! In addition, the church of Jesualti in Venice is the only church that Yunluo has ever seen that requires an entrance fee!

And 3 euros more! At that time, Yunluo silently vomited blood...... Other than that, Venice is a wonderful city. It's worth stopping and seeing. Yunluo and An first met because they arrived late, and they only had time to eat dinner after checkin, and on the recommendation of a friend, they successfully tried Italian food for the first time.

It is said that this is a 100-year-old shop that has been open in Venice for a hundred years, and it is very famous! But the name of the restaurant is not found, the appearance is roughly as shown, in a corner, if it is not very deep, it cannot be found at all...... The famous dish of this restaurant is cuttlefish noodles/rice, and the cuttlefish rice is especially recommended, which is really the best Italian restaurant Yunluo has ever eaten!

Although I have eaten several restaurants before. But I can't help but order food, I can only order things that look pleasing to the eye, which is often not very delicious...... After dinner, because the day before was the release of "Avengers 2", Yunluo and An Chuyu specially found a movie theater to watch. (I actually asked in Florence the day before.)

But why don't all cinemas in Florence have the same movie on the same screen, there are several in the city center that don't have the same movie, only one in the farther away, and only after 4pm! Put! Reflect! Per! Sky! Only! Yes! 3！ Field! Most of the theaters in Venice are on the ......

Yunluo, who has never seen a movie in a foreign country, basically knows nothing about how to watch a movie in a foreign country. After buying the ticket, Yunluo and An Chuyu are still walking downstairs, and the upstairs has already begun to occupy a seat, right! Cinemas in Venice do not have seat numbers...... You can pick a seat early on......

I managed to find two seats to sit down (they won't oversell, which still guarantees you at least a place to sit). After watching a lot of Italian commercials, the movie finally opens...... I thought that for this kind of foreign blockbuster, Europe should have the same English vowels with Italian subtitles as Yunluoguo.

Yunluo should still be able to hear some simple lines...... But the facts tell Yunluo again Too young, too simple...... Can you imagine that everyone in the Avengers speaks in pure Italian...... After watching the whole film, Yunluo only understood one word - avenger!

Yunluo couldn't even hear Tony and Natasha and was drunk...... But fortunately, American blockbusters are always looking at the picture and the plot behind, and you can know what is said earlier, so the overall understanding is barrier-free. Changed to a feature film, Yunluo definitely doesn't dare to try it!

I decided to take a good look at this water city. Then move on to Milan City! Venice isn't actually big, but it's a little bigger than Florence. The main transport is by boat, but if you don't want to take a boat, you can walk the entire island. However, it is important to note that even Venice locals are not familiar with the city.

His streets are just too intricate and too narrow, plus the similarity of each street is surprisingly high, so. If you're a road idiot...... It's best to follow someone who isn't a road idiot...... If you're not a road idiot...... Please load the map and look at the navigation. He can lead you anywhere in Venice!

Venice is most famous for its Piazza San Marco on the main island, with St. Mark's Basilica on one side of Venice's most luxurious building, and then the Palazzo Duca, the Correll Museum, the New Deal Hall, and the quadrangular bell tower all around the square. Basically, most of Venice's famous scenery, with the exception of the glass and colored islands, is gathered in the square.

St. Mark's Basilica is the largest church in Venice when Venice was the principality of Venice, and it is also the largest existing church in medieval Europe, so first, the gold edges on it are pure gold, you know, second, there is a museum behind this church, so the lobby is free, but you can only enter if you want to see any attraction later, you know!

It is said that St. Mark, the author of the Gospel of Mark, is buried here, so if you have the chance, please make sure to visit it. When it comes to the cost of mosques, the fees in Venice should be more frequent and expensive in the whole of Italy. St. Mark's Church alone, the museum behind it costs 4 euros, the cloister costs 2 euros, and the gold altar costs 3 euros......

One more point. Theoretically, you need to be neatly dressed to enter, and occasionally you don't care about it (most churches in Florence in Rome don't care, but Venice and Milan have to be managed), so you should prepare regular clothes or a large scarf in order to enter normally......

(Yunluo sees a girl who has been stopped outside the church because she is wearing shorts.) The girl didn't say a word, tore off her scarf and wrapped it into a skirt and passed the security check...... But St. Mark's Basilica also has a strange rule that you can't bring large bags inside...... So Yunluo didn't go in for this reason...... Then the bell tower next to it also costs 8 euros.

The Ducal Palace, which can pass by the Bridge of Sighs, costs 16 euros...... The gold house costs 6 euros...... A 30-minute gondola ride costs 80 euros...... So all these attractions ...... Yunluo has given up! You can only see the Bridge of Sighs for free from afar, and pass by the free College Bridge and the Ritoya Bridge. Concentric locks can be locked on the college bridge, but because I am afraid that the bridge will collapse.

So every once in a while the Venetian government will cut all the locks to avoid the bridge being too heavy, the Ritoia Bridge is somewhat similar to the Vicchio Bridge in Florence, there are shops on both sides of the bridge selling small gifts, it is very beautiful from a distance, but when Yunluo and An first met, they were under renovation because of the World Expo, and it was a pity not to see a very beautiful appearance.

Personally, if you are not an avid fan of the Duchy of Venice, you can go to the Vatican without spending money on attractions. On the contrary, the various trails of Venice are worth taking a good look at, and it can be said that there is not necessarily a second city in the world that has such a view. In addition, some Venetian-style gifts in remote alleys will be much cheaper.

Venice to Milan does not seem to have a Ferrari rabbit car, Yunluo and An first encounter bought a train to Geneva operated by a Swiss company, from the overall ride is not as comfortable as the rabbit car, the most important thing is that the wood has wifi and sockets...... But no matter what the train, it takes 2 and a half minutes to get there.

Milan also has two stations, Milanocentrale and Milanorogoredo, most of the trains go to Milanocentrale, only a few stop at Milanorogoredo, you also need to pay attention when buying tickets, to see which station is closer to your hotel.

The hotel is located very close to the central train station. That's why I chose this largest station in Milan to stop. Milan's Milanocentrale station is more than a little larger than Rome's Romatermini station...... Various escalators on various floors...... There are clothing stores on each floor, and it is worthy of being a fashion capital!

Celebrate their victory against fascism in World War II (watching them celebrate their victory like this, I wonder what the Germans next door think). This day is celebrated all over Italy every year, and the traditional way to celebrate the city of Milan is to parade and give speeches in front of the Milan Cathedral. So in order to experience the National Day fever in a foreign country.

Yunluo and Ann's first encounter abandoned the rest of Milan's attractions. Single-mindedly, wandering around the cathedral and waiting to see the procession. The Duomo of Milan is the second largest in the world and a classic of Gothic architecture. Historically, the Duomo of Milan also played an important role, and it was here that the Holy See's Decree of Milan, which legalized Christianity, took place.

In addition, Leonardo da Vinci also designed the black technology of the time for this church - the elevator! Unlike St. Peter's Basilica, this bony church is filled with a variety of marble statues. Overwhelming St. Peter, who is famous for his statues, was overwhelming in numbers.

All in all, unlike the magnificent St. Peter's Basilica and the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore with its most beautiful dome, the bony style of the Duomo of Milan and the softness of the Baroque architecture run through the whole of the church. But it is a pity that in order to prepare for the Milan Expo, many large instruments have been placed inside the cathedral to restore and clean the interior of the church.

So a lot of places are not all open. However, this is still not the point, the point is why Yunluo and An Chuyu were able to see a huge LED electronic screen set up by Samsung Group on the left side of the church to play Samsung advertisements? ! Is Italy already occupied by the Koreans?! (To be continued.) )
