We’re all about maximizing our

limited time off

Do you feel the pressure of your job getting to you? Are you longing to get away from it all but you have limited vacation time? Do you just need a break?

Us too!

We love to travel and explore, but we’re also holding down full-time jobs. In addition to that, living in the US means we have very limited time off. We do all the research and planning we can so that when we’re finally on vacation, we can enjoy it and really make the most of our holiday.

Let us share what we know, and learn from our inevitable mistakes, so that when it’s your turn, your vacation goes smoothly and you can maximize your trip!

On this episode of Mapping It, we're visiting the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella, a church filled with beautiful art. Then we head to the world's oldest pharmacy: Officina Profumo Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella. Next up, we head to the Basilica of San Lorenzo and soak up some history of the Medici. For lunch we stop by the Central Market for a traditional Lampredotto sandwich and some charcuterie. After a quick stop at our hotel with an epic view of Florence, we head to the Basilica of Santa Croce and then head to a world-famous hidden leather workshop: the Scuola del Cuoio. We end our day with the absolute best Bistecca alla Fiorentina from Trattoria Dall'oste. This is your ultimate guide to experiencing the Renaissance city like a local.
