I
am sitting in a café in the main square
drinking a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, and feeling rather tied as I
have been walking around all day. From where I am sitting, it is only a couple
of minutes’ walk to the art gallery,
which has a wonderful collection of Renaissance painting, and I can see a copy
of one of the most famous statues
in world, Michelangelo’s David.
My
favorite view however, is from
the bridge. There are street traders on either side selling leather goods,
boxes and other typical souvenirs,
and you can see the reddish-brown roofs of the churches and the cathedral. This
city is a paradise for people who like sightseeing
as it has an enormous number of museums,
palaces and fountains, which
are all within walking distance of each other. On the other hand, because there
is so much to see, you cannot visit this city in a couple of days. You should
really stay for at least a
week. Another disadvantage is that whatever time of year it is, it is always
crowded with tourists, as this
is probably one of the most visited cities in Europe.
