hi cindy,
r u refering to Florence, Italy? Florence city is very small n walkable distance to all famous sites..there is no subways within the city coz of its size, it does hv a train stn where u can travel to Rome n Milan though. Hotels wise, they r ex lor even for 3star coz its a very touristy city. wats ur budget for per nite stay? europe hotels usually does not include BF by default one, u need to pay extra(which is not worth the price) for BF.

Hi cindy
To help you along, check out www.tripadvisor.com and search all hotels under Florence, Italy. I stayed at Hotel Carravaggio for about 30 euros per person per night including breakfast. Its a small little hotel near the main train station. Read my contribution to tripadvisor. http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g187895-d295625-r5589861-Hotel_Caravaggio-Florence_Tuscany.html
You are expected to walk everywhere in Florence (or in Europe for that matter) as it small enough city. I spent 4 days in Florence in July 2006 (during the tourist peak) and planned the itinerary from Day 1 to Day 4 and searched out little restaurants whereby the waiters spoke only italian. It was an awesome holiday!

hi T&P,
u not going to Maldives har? hehehhe...
there's no direct flights from sg to florence...SQ flys to rome n milan direct. u can then take a train from either city to florence. i know its a 2hrs ride to florence from milan...think rome is slightly nearer to florence..about 1.5hrs?
u may check out tis site for train info..
http://www.trenitalia.com/en/index.html
or alternatively, u may transfer to a domestic flight from either rome or milan airport.
if u plan to cover these 3 cities...u may do it in tis sequence : milan-->florence-->rome or rome-->florence-->milan---->venice(highly recommended)
happy planning...

Hi midas,
Went Maldives twice liao..think i shld see other parts of the world now. Maldives will be reserved for R&R or my retirement trip. haha..
Europe is totally different from beach holidays, it's all abt the sights and hitting the stores! Keke..i am also a huge history freak, so europe is like heaven to me too.
Actually my 1st destination has to b florence. but seeing that there's no direct flight, i may have to change my schedule a bit.
The train nice? Like eurostar?
btw, where did u stay when in florence?
Tks for the tips sia!

midas,
did u do F&E or grp tour?

As i travelled from Switzerland (F&E), i went to Milan first, then venice, florence, Rome and Naples.
You can start from either Milan or Rome, but i would suggest you spend more time in Rome (abt 3 days) as there are really lots of stuffs to see. The rest can be covered in abt 1.5 days.
I agree with midas that venice is highly recommended, in my opinion, it's nicer than florence.
