Time Out Shortlist Florence Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We usually rely on DK Eyewitness Guides, which are great on the sights, but not so good on food and lodging. I ordered this book to fill in those gaps, and it more than proved its worth. A great guide for finding out what's currently going on in a city.
Highly recommended.
BTW: We recently returned from Florence where we ate in a wonderful restaurant named "Ganzi" [Trattoria Osteria Da Que' Ganzi, Via Ghibellina 70/rosso, 50122 Florence, Italy 0039-055-2260010, two blocks from Santa Croce]. After eating there the first night, we returned every night we were in Florence and always had delicious meals served with great hospitality. Check it out on TripAdvisor.

Best known as the center of Renaissance culture, Florence is also firmly planted in the 21st century - and looking forward to the future. Recent innovations include new building projects such as a high-speed train link designed by Sir Norman Foster, as well as Firenze Nova, a fascinating satellite town being built from scratch. Even the most traditional aspects of Italian life - food and drink - are getting a revamp here, with an explosion of destination wine bars and trendy restaurants. This illustrated guide, written by knowledgeable locals, also contains comprehensive coverage of the city's arts and culture scene as well as hundreds of independent reviews. These critics save visitors time, money, and headaches by identifying Florence’s best, worst, most fashionable, and most overrated.

This "Petit Pudlo” is a guide to the best hotels, restaurants, cafes, and food shops in more than 150 cities, towns, and villages in the beautiful French provinces of Normandy and Brittany.Normandy, the site of the D-Day landing beaches, museum, and memorials, probably has more significance to American visitors than any other part of France. A milestone event of great Franco-American importance, the dedication on June 6, 2007, of the Normandy Cemetery Visitor Center on the sixty-third anniversary of the landings, ensures its continued popularity. Also home to legendary Mont-Saint-Michel, the Bayeux Tapestry, and Giverny (the home of Claude Monet), Normandy is the third most popular destination in France for Americans after Paris and Versailles. Brittany, next door, offers 800 miles of grand rocky coastline, fishing villages, and prehistoric menhirs.Gilles Pudlowski’s guide profiles hundreds of hotels and restaurants serving the fish, shellfish, duck, and famous cheeses for which this region is known, as well as its most charming cafes and typically Breton creperies. In addition, specialty gourmet stores that offer the bounty of these gastronomic provinces are listed for each town.
