The experience

I’ll never forget the way our driver, Matteo, waved at a woman balancing two bags of oranges as we squeezed past the market near San Lorenzo. She grinned and shouted something in Florentine dialect: Matteo just laughed and said it was a compliment to his driving (I’m not so sure). The city felt different from the golf cart: closer, but also sort of dreamlike as we zipped along those narrow lanes, bells echoing from somewhere I couldn’t see. There was this faint smell of coffee and leather that kept drifting in, maybe from one of the workshops near Santa Croce.

We stopped in front of the Duomo and I tried to take a photo, but honestly you can’t fit that dome into a phone screen. Matteo pointed out details on the facade I’d never noticed before, even though I’ve seen it in books since forever. No church entry on this tour, but standing in the square with all those voices bouncing off marble felt like enough. Later we rolled over to Ponte Vecchio (so many gold shops glittering in the morning light), and then up to Piazzale Michelangelo for that famous view (it really does hit different when you don’t have to climb up there yourself). Bottled water tasted extra cold after the ride uphill.

The best part? The little things: catching bits of local gossip as we paused near Piazza della Repubblica, seeing kids chase pigeons while their parents sipped espresso, or hearing Matteo’s stories about Dante’s house and why everyone still argues about gelato flavors here. We didn’t go inside any museums or churches (just took it all in from outside), but somehow that made me notice more. Florence seemed less like a postcard and more like a place people actually live. I still think about that view over the rooftops at sunset. It’s stuck with me in a way I didn’t expect.
