The Only Florence Book You'll Need
This book had all the information on Florence's museums, churches and other tourist sites, restaurants, shopping, hotels, day trips and miscellaneous information (like getting to and from the airport) that you'll need. You won't need to buy a map of Florence: we were able to find everything using the maps included in this book. The book is smallish and slim so that it will fit easily in a purse. We spent three nights in Florence and were very happy that we chose this book.
