What's their to do? One of the options our TA is recommending is 4 days in Florence. I don't know what's there to see.

I love florence- but I dont think there is really four days of things to do there- they have amazing museums, churches
my favorites- ponte vecchio (a really pretty historical bridge), san miniato church, and of course the straw market!

i didnt feel like I was in Italy while I was there. Many people consider it their favorite city though!!!
I agree with Tilde. One day is plenty. Iti s beautiful and you want to say you went there but no need to spend that much time there.

FOUR DAYS?!
i would take the time elsewhere - i hated Florence . . . there are some nice things to see but I think you can see them in one day and then just sleep over and leave the next day
the MOST Americanized city I have ever been to - INCLUDING cities in America LOL JK but seriously
take some of those days and stay longer in Rome ( if you are going there ) or the Amalfi Coast or Capri or Ischia or Sicily. . . .
We are definitely doing Rome and Venice too. I want to go to Pisa, which I know isn't far from Florence and I really want to go to Tuscany to do wine tours. I think we can do it from Florence, but I don't know. I just want to make sure we're not missing some cool places in Florence.
I studied in Florence. You can go on wine tours not to far away (20 min); 2-3 days is more than enough there. I wouldn't waste any time on Pisa. There is a tower and that is it. BUT if you must I recommend you continue northwest about an hour to an area called Cinque Terre (my absolute favorite). SOoooo beautiful. There are wine tours, fishing, hiking, beaches etc there and it is not as touristy as other areas. THe Amalfi coast (not far from Naples=great pizza) is romantic and beachy if you like that. They have ferry boats and you can visit quite a bit in 2-3 days. hope this info helps. you will love anywhere you go in Italy. It is unbeatable.
Ive been to Venice, Florence and Rome. Venice is by far my favorite however I thought Florence was beautiful as well..much better than Rome anyways. You have to at least go to Florence for two days...there is just so much art and stuff to see. (By the time you leave Italy, all the art will start to look the same lol) Ive been to Italy quite a few times cause I have family there, and I always prefer to travel to small towns where you really can enjoy the real people of Italy.

go to the Ponte Vecchio, so romantic. There's also the Pallazzo Medici, Uffici and the doumo, too bad it was under construction when I was there.
I went to Florence, but I went on a trip with my all girls catholic high school. From my experience, all there was to do there was see alot of basilicas, but that is definitely warped by the fact that the trip was planned by our teachers. I think 4 days would be longer than you need there. Rome was way more fun and I found it alot more interesting.

I went with my all girls catholic school too (Did you go to SHA?) Then I went again with 22 members of my big Italian family and had a BLAST.
