4-Day Florence Itinerary on a Budget - Day 3 & 4

Florence Day 3: 4th June 2018 Mon

Duomo di Firenze

We queued at 10.15 am to get into Duomo di Firenze. In the morning there was some place where there were shade. The queue was also supper long.

Do note that you can not wear sleeveless outfit. There will people walking down the queue to sell scarf.

Finally, at 11.35 am, we entered the place. The interior was nothing much though the exterior facade looks very grand.

It's 12pm, time to eat lunch! We walked to Mercato Centrale Florence: San Lorenzo Food Market. (The famous Il Porcellino was opposite direction of the place so we decided to skip it).

Passed through many stalls 

 12.15 pm we reached the San Lorenzo Food Market.

Mercato Centrale Florence: San Lorenzo Food Market 

The food here was a bit more expensive and nothing really catch our eyes. So we decided to check out another place.

Trattoria Mario Firenze

 We were led down to another room at the back. By 12.40 pm, we were seated.

Ordered pork chop (8.5 euro), and really only a piece of meat arrived...

Around 1.05 pm, the pork chop was served. It was not juicy but also not dry. But I prefer Singapore pork chop where we still have some sauce and fries to go along with it.

We took the train to Pisa. By 3.30 pm, we reached Pisa train station.

There was more than one route to the Tower. A bigger main road and a smaller route.

We checked out the Gelato store in Pisa. The Gelato in Pisa is cheaper than in Florence. So, we bought it!

Nice!

Walking to the tower...

We reached the Pisa Tower at 4.22 pm and took tons of picture till 5.13 pm. You will indeed see many people pretending to push the tower.

  

You need to pay 0.8 euro to use the toilet near Pisa Tower. It was located near the broken angel (not behind it).

There were restaurants on the way to Pisa train station but we decided to go back to airbnb and cook dinner.

Pisa is cooling in the late afternoon.

We left Pisa at 6.01 pm and reach Florence at 7.25 pm. The train stopped at different stops. There might have direct train back to Florence where you don't need to stop at any stops. Do your research!

The train to Venice was late. 

We were supposed to leave at 10.46 am but there was a 15 minutes delay. Only at 11.17 am then we sit on train. By 11.19 am the train finally moved. We reached Venice around 1.30 pm.

Stay tuned to know how we spent our time at Venice.
