I Arrived to Italy's Most Beautiful City! 🇮🇹

This is what I came all the way to Florence for, guys, was the affogato. Mmm. I am happy. How many minutes before the train should we go down? The platform will appear 15 to 10 minutes before, so... Perfect. So this is the seats, guys. Very spacious. We have a tray, cup holder, charger, small trash can, and hey, this is our view. Wow, guys, this looks and smells incredible. And we came in at the... Right before the rush. Look at the rush. Oh, look. The bracelet scams. Look. He just snatched them from the lady. That's crazy. Good morning. Today, we're leaving Milano, and we're heading to Florence. We're actually heading there on an Italo train, and I'm really excited. Right now, we got an Uber picking us up. We're heading to Milan Central, and we're going to start this journey. I want to share with you guys train safety and everything you need to know about visiting Milano. Hello. Hi. Wow, that was fast. Ciao. Grazie. All right. Oh, it's manual. Cool. Thank you. Yeah. Filming our vacation. Thank you. Where are you from? I'm from United States, and my wife, Venezuela. Are you from Milano? Yes, I am. States where? California. Oh, my God. Venezuela. I like Milano. Yes. It's beautiful. Man, it's so hot right now, but they told me everywhere in Italy is the same right now. Very hot. But, you know, good food. That's okay. Yeah, we've had a lot of good food. And here it is. Milano Central. Look at how beautiful the station is, guys. Wow, that's a masterpiece on its own. Gorgeous. The train stations are so unique here, huh? Wow. It's very beautiful. Of course. I'm traveling with Gladys. First time in the train station. Yeah. First time in Milano station. Yeah. This is the Mussolini style. Oh, really? Mussolini style. Wow. That's awesome. There, upstairs. There is elevator. Okay. Perfect. Thank you so much. Grazie. Here we are. We made it. That was a lot easier than walking. Right now, it's 37 degrees, guys. You don't want to be walking with luggage. He told us, please, guys, be careful with pickpockets. There's a lot of young Romanian women here right now. I'm okay. Thank you. That are here taking advantage of people and they'll steal your stuff very quickly. We're going to take a lot of precautions today. Wow, they got a Victoria's Secret in the station. That's interesting. They actually have a shopping center down there as well. Yeah. I don't know exactly which way we're going, but we do have lounge access. We didn't get the cheapest tickets. We got like a semi-private cabin on Italo train, and we do have that Italo club lounge as well available. Wow. Man, this is gorgeous. You know what I love about the trains in Europe is that they literally connect you with the whole world. The whole world connects with these trains. Let's see how we get there. You could purchase your tickets here, but because it's peak season, we got ours in advance. And yeah, ours is not even on there yet. Oh, wait. 1145 Venecia. Yeah, there it is. I don't think there's a booth yet, but you can actually purchase your tickets through these little kiosks as well. They got a pharmacy, some sort of bottle shop. Interesting. Cool little area. They even have luggage storage where you can leave your luggage. And then there's the lift. He said to definitely take the lift because then we would find ourselves on a lot of stairs. Wow, they even have a Lush here in case you need a last minute bath bomb. All right, let's take the lift. I don't know if we're going to go to the lounge. Maybe we should go check it out. So you know what? We are going to go check out the lounge to show you guys that. There's several different classes. We got club executive. There is another class higher than this one, which are like private seating inside of that train. But those ones were fully sold out. But if you're coming like what a family of four, I definitely recommend that option. According to everything I read online, this option club executive allows us to have like our own little cart carriage where we can monitor our bags. All the economy ones. I guess you're sitting facing forward and your bags are in the back. And we've seen TikToks of people's bags not being there when they arrive. So we're trying to avoid that. We should have bought some air tags. I recommend getting air tags for your stuff. And we do have like some ropes, like bike chains almost, but we forgot to buy locks. And I heard that that's a big one. You want to have like bike chains to lock up your bags to the racks. I'm telling you, you got to be careful in Europe in the summer. All right, let's make our way to the lounge. We got a private elevator. Elevator. Nice. Are you excited to get to Florence? Of course. What are you most excited about? Well, I want to do the vintage photo. I want to have an affogato. I want to have a wine from a window. I want to go see the David. A lot of things. A lot of things, huh? I want to buy leather purses in Florence. Yeah, true. We got to get Gladys a leather purse when we get there. Wow, they got a Sephora. That's not good for all the husbands out there. Walk away. Walk away. All right, let's find this lounge access and then I'll catch up with you guys in a second. Wow, this is so pretty. Man, it's so busy in here. But yeah, the train stations connect you basically anywhere you want to go in Europe. You can go to from these central stations. Man, they're gorgeous. Oh yeah, here's the lounge elevator. I'm kind of glad I get to show you guys the club lounge as well. Ascensor Italo Club. Wow, that was quick. And we made it to the lounge. Oh, this is cool. Okay. Yeah, it looks like a lounge at the airport. It says up there, free buffet with fresh sweets, free open bar. Nice. I'm excited. Hello. For two? Yeah. How many minutes before the train should we go down? The platform will appear 15 to 10 minutes before, so that time is okay. Perfect. You also have the priority with your ticket. Thank you. You're welcome. Wow, one thing I love about this place already is you don't have to worry about where you leave your bags. I mean, everybody's traveling. There's none of those, you know, gypsies running around taking luggage. Let's see what kind of snacks they have. Okay, some bakery items, some croissants, bread. This looks nice. Wow, I'm impressed. This is amazing. So, we got some focaccia, two croissants, two breads, and coffee. This is cool, huh? Wow, amazing. Okay, you're right. And look at the view of the train station. So pretty. I love the architecture. And I don't know if you guys caught that in the beginning, but you also get priority access. So, we don't got to wait in long queues to enter. Man, this was only 15 euros more, I think, than the economy class. Incredible. What a steal. I wish we could have done like the top class, but no tickets were available. During the summer, you got to get these things in advance. But those are our trains, Italo. So, I'm excited. We got like 30 minutes to chill in here. Let's enjoy this and I'll catch up with you guys as we board the train. They also have bathrooms in here, which if you guys have been to a main train station before, they're usually not the cleanest. So, it's nice to have a private lounge. I'm impressed. And like I said, we get to relax in here. You don't got to worry about somebody snatching your bag. It's nice. Had an amazing time at the lounge. It was incredible. Definitely recommend it. I ate more sweets than I should have. But now we are going to go down. We got 20 minutes till our train leaves. Actually, 10. And the platform just showed up. We're heading to platform 18. Let me get the ticket ready. And we'll make our way there. Wow, right outside the elevator is the fast track. This is the fast track area. Let's make our way there. Fast track? Thank you. Alright. We're about to start this train journey here. Milan to Florence. We're going to platform 18. And this train, we were actually reading upstairs, stops in a bunch of places. It goes all the way down to Salerno. Stops in Bologna, Rome. And we are in carriage, I believe, number 1. All the way in the front. Wow, these trains look awesome. Like bullet trains. So yeah, here's Prima Business Class. And we are all the way in the front. Club. Oh, there's only one club train. Or carriage. Or coach. However you say it. And here is our coach. Coach 1. Club. So yeah, now I see why there were such limited options for club seats. You gotta book these in advance. Now I see why there was only a few clubs. There's only one carriage for a club. Awesome. Interesting, huh? That's very nice. Yeah. I'm excited for this. And the door has opened. Time to board the train. So this here is the club cabin. These here are our seats. There are some storage up top. Oh yeah, this is very spacious. And then the luggage goes in the front. And these here are the private cabins. Which they had no more of. These were a bit more expensive. So this is the reason why I booked this train cabin. Because no one can steal your bags. You're all the way in the front and there's not an entrance. Only an exit. And it doesn't connect to the other ones. Let me just put this here. It's way too heavy. So this is the seats, guys. Very spacious. We have a tray. Cup holder. Charger. Small trash can. And this is our view. Not bad. Also a little place to put your coats. Some lighting. Storage above the train. Or above your seats. And they give you this pamphlet. That probably talks about all the destinations they visit. Nice. And then I think here's another drain. Wow, that's cool. Just like an airplane. And the recording says we're about to head off. Pretty beautiful cabin, huh? Nice. Two hour journey is about to start now. This is comfortable. Why can't business class flights be this affordable? This is so nice. We're taking off. Bye bye Milan. It was a good trip. I look forward to coming back one day. Maybe. We'll see. Okay, and we're off. And look at this, guys. We are going top speeds, man. We're flying through Milan. Wow, so cool. They just brought us out an espresso. Nice. Cheers. I wonder what the espresso packet is for then. Oh, it's a napkin. Oh, okay, okay. I was like, wait, what? Smells great. I think I need sugar in this though. It smells strong. Look at these countryside views, man. Beautiful. Oh, snack time. You excited? We get excited for snacks. Yeah. You don't have any more M&M's? M&M's? Yeah. Thank you, thank you. Yeah, I saw M&M's. I want M&M's. Gladys got these here. Some potato chips, maybe? I think so. They look good. Wow, thank you so much. Thank you. Oh yeah, peanut M&M's. And they're cold. Nice. For you. You have Coca-Cola Zero? Yeah. Please, thank you. Thank you so much. Nice. Wow, these cashews are so good. Look, try them. They're honey-covered cashews. So good, huh? Wow, the snacks are great. Got some Coke Zero. And look at these Italian countryside views. Oh yeah. Dude, this was so worth it. So we actually just got a lunchbox as well, but it's just about time to get off. So this here is the lunchbox. We got a Danish ham and cheese sandwich. Not bad, but now it's time for us to get off. So we're here. Time to check into our Airbnb. And we made it! We made it to Florence. Man, the last time I was here was with my best friend, and I think all we did was get drunk at a hostel. And I remember doing a pub crawl. That was about my experience in Florence. This time is going to be a lot different. We're going to go see the David tomorrow, and we're not getting drunk. It's going to be good. We're eating. We're going to get drunk off of food. That's the plan. The Airbnb says that it's only five minutes away from here. I'm going to put the camera down, take one of those bags away from Gladys, and we'll make our way to the room. Our host actually said we can check in early. We're actually two hours earlier than check-in time, so plenty of time in advance. And just like every other station, outside you have Sephora, all kinds of different stores, cafes. Man, what a nice station. Very beautiful. And we made it to the Airbnb. My shirt's already off. We are so hot, huh? It's crazy hot. I honestly don't think I'll ever come back to Italy in the summer. I think I'm done. Like winter, fall, spring, but not the summer. This here is our little house. I forgot my sweaty shirt, but we got the table. Nice stove. That's the fridge? Yeah. Oh, pretty nice. Oh, look, they left croissants for us. Oh, yeah. Those are what these are right here. Croissants, cookies, coffee, little kettle. We got this for about $100 a night. We got a nice living room. Our bags are everywhere, but this is the living room. It looks cozy. We're only here two nights. Bathroom. Has everything we need. It even has a little washing machine. I've never seen a washing machine this thin before. And then this here is our room. The only thing I'm worried about is we don't have an AC. Does that little thing work? Yeah, it's working. Okay, we closed the window to allow the heat to stay outside. But yeah, beautiful little room. The towels stink, which sucks. But those are things that you just hit or miss with Airbnb. But yeah, this was, I believe, $100 a night. Not too bad. And we walked here in what? Less than 10 minutes? Yes. But the Uber here. I know, I was being a cheap ass. But the Uber here was almost €30. It makes a big difference, man. $40. We're going to be able to go eat two full meals with $40. So it wasn't a bad drive. I mean, a bad walk. But it's hot. And we're not far from the center. We saw the Duomo just down the street. So we're going to be able to, unlike our apartment in Milan, we're going to be able to actually walk to sites from here. Which is nice. Yes. I'm looking forward to that. Gladys is going to freshen up. I'm going to use the bathroom. And then we'll go explore in this super hot weather. I'm not even going to change my shirt because I'm just going to sweat it all out. And there's no point. We're just going to go. We left the house. And let me just tell you guys. So far, the vibes already feel completely different than Milano. Here, you can tell that there are a lot more tourists. As soon as we walked out of our Airbnb, a lot of tourists, a lot of people with luggages. And right now, we're actually about to head over to the Duomo, to the church here in Florence, the famous church. We actually had tickets to go there tomorrow. But I forgot what happened. What happened, Gladys? They just canceled. They canceled. They said that the church was going to be closed. So now we're not going to actually be able to see the Duomo. And it's very famous. I'll let Gladys tell you why it's famous. Why is it famous? Well, because of the history it has around it. Yeah. Brunelleschi made it. Yeah. It's Brunelleschi's dome, right? A lot of people couldn't complete, and he did it. So that's why it's very important. Iconic. Very iconic. Yeah. And, man, the Chinese people. Forgive me if there's something else Asian. But it looked Chinese. And we met some lovely Chinese people on the train. And, man, Chinese people are always just good vibes. But they always come prepared. They always have umbrellas. They always have, what, the last few days when we've gone to locations, they have, like, all their locations saved on Pinterest. They don't mess around, man. They do research. So bring an umbrella if you're coming here in the summertime. Or just buy one. Buy our Airbnb. There's a bunch of, like, Bangladeshi-owned shops. There's a place called Bangla Market right in front of our hotel. And there you can purchase an umbrella. But, yeah, look, this is the W Hotel. Beautiful property. I love the facades of these buildings. Ben, I like the vibe here already. It is an oven, though. I'll tell you that. It's an oven out here. And I might have to go to the pharmacy. There's a farmacia right there, Ben. And see if I can't see a doctor. I got to see a doctor, guys. I am not feeling the best right now. And I need some, like, antibiotics, I think. So I'm going to try and get on that later on today. That way it doesn't ruin the rest of our stay here in Italy. Because I'm trying to keep, like, high spirits up. But I don't really feel the best. But we'll worry about that later. First things first, we need some food. We need some lunch. All the restaurants that we have saved, well, most of them, man, they don't open until, like, 7 p.m. Yes. And they're located a little bit outside of the center, which is where I always recommend to eat. It's never in the exact center. You don't find the best food. Usually it's mainly for tourists. But we're going to get a bite to eat somewhere around here. Maybe try a couple iconic drinks. Maybe some ice cream. That would hit the spot right now. But, yeah, join me as we walk around Florence and I show you guys my first impressions. Look at the beautiful flower shops. Here the leather is very iconic. Gladys wants to look at some of the leather bags. Wow. That sounds nice, huh? It smells so good when you walk by. Should we go in there and check it out? Later, right? Oh, okay. Gladys did her research. She has everything saved. I'm just going with the flow. Look here, there's a pizzeria on the corner. Look at all the little scooters. So cool. Chinese restaurant. And the Duomo should be somewhere up around here. Everybody told us to make sure we are very careful in this city because there's a lot of pickpockets, a lot of scammers. It's just like Rome, very popular. So, we'll definitely keep an eye out for that. But, so far, I've felt pretty relaxed here in Italy. Wow, look at this. Is that the dome? No, huh? That's something else. Here they have another little pharmacy. They got a Greek restaurant. Wow, baby, look. A Greek restaurant. Il Grego. A couple different wine spots. Oh, they got the misters here. This looks like a nice relaxing spot to sit down, actually. Some focaccias in there. Man, what a beautiful city. Wow, there's a lot of leather being sold. That's super cool to see. All right, guys, we're going to keep walking around and I'll catch up with you in a second once we find a good place to eat. You know what? Let's go in here. Let's see what this is. Cappel? I wonder if you need a ticket for this. Yeah, it looks like you do. Cappel Menesi. Let me do some research and I'll get back to you. Okay, so this place is called Cappel Medici and it's an art museum. You do need a ticket. We're not going in there today, then. Let's keep walking down and let's find a nice place to sit down for a bit. It's a bit hot and the body is calling for a nice place to sit down. Something like this wouldn't be bad. Oh, wow, the prices are a bit hefty here. 15, 16 euros. To put in comparison, basically this entire trip, we've been having a lot of pastas for about 9 to 15 euros. But the 15 euro ones tend to be the ones with a lot of seafood. Here in the tourist city centers, you'll spend 15, 20 euros on a bolognese, which is a quite simple pasta compared to a lot of the other ones. But beautiful vibes, look at that. We might just sit down at a spot like this for right now to cool off. Where are you from? Tunisia, yeah, bro. I've been there, yeah. Sousse, Tunis. Are you from Sousse? I got to go back soon. Nice to meet you. I'll come by before we leave. I'll enjoy your restaurant. All right, cool, bro. Take care. Wow, I ran into a subscriber from Tunisia. Man, I got to go back to Tunisia. Tunisia and Algeria, I got to go back to. Man, I want to go check out some of these leather shops myself. Look at this. I didn't realize Florence was so popular for leather. Man. This is the place, huh? You know what? Let's check out some of these prices. Let's see what they got going on. Let's see what they got going on over here. Wow, this is so cool. What's up, bro? How are you? Good, good. You got some wallets? Man, it smells so good over here. Yeah. For you? For me, for me. Which kind of wallet? Buffalo one? Buffalo? Oh, that's nice. Where are you from? I'm from Bangladesh. Bangladesh. Where are you from? From Dhaka? Yeah. I've been to Dhaka. You've been to Dhaka? Yeah, I was eating Puchka on Bailey Road. Ah, really good. Yeah, of course. Oh, okay, okay. Bangla people, good people. Yeah. Hardworking people, huh? Where are you from? I'm from the U.S., California. California. He's from Uganda. Just joking. He's from Uganda. You don't look like Uganda. If Bangladesh had a photo, you both look like you're from there. Yeah. Where are you from? I'm from Pakistan. Zindabad. I was in Pakistan last week. Last week, I was in Peshawar. I was in Peshawar, Islamabad, Lahore, and Karachi. Yeah. And my city is between Lahore and Islamabad. Which one is it? Gujarat. Yeah, I've heard of Gujarat. I've never gone. I was there during Eid. Very, very empty. That is between two rivers. Jhelum and the Chenab is a big bridge between. Okay. But you can travel with bus or train? I travel by plane. Ah, that's why. Actually, I travel by car from Islamabad to Peshawar. Like two and a half hour drive. Yeah. Pakistani people are good people, man. Bro, the best. The best. I think Pakistani hospitality is the best in South Asia. It's the best. Good people. You know, when you come as a tourist, everybody wants to buy you everything for free. Yeah. You know, it's nice. I love it. My culture is like this. Yeah. How long have you been in Rome? I mean, in Florence? Nine years. A lot of Pakistani, a lot of Bangladesh here. Yes. Hardworking people, huh? Yes. Yeah. I love that. What's up, bro? Everybody here is Bangladesh. I love that. Okay. I don't know. What are the prices? What's this one price? If you like it, I'll give you a good price for you, my friend. If you take a look, which one you like. Let me see. I like these ones. What is this? This is all like old men like this. Old men like that? Men like this one. Oh, this is for women? Men like this one. Oh, dude. That is nice. I sell them too much by women like this. Okay. It's a man like this. Genuine leather. Vera Pele. Yeah. Old men like this one. What does Vera Pele mean? Vera Pele is a general leather one. Okay. General leather. Man, that's a nice bag. Yeah. That's a laptop bag? Yeah. Laptop bag. I got business like official bag like this. Man. Okay. Yeah. How much is this one, bro? I like this one. 25 euros? Really? You don't have nothing that's like 15? Yeah. That's what I would like. It could be a different option. Man, we only got card right now actually. Yeah. Like this one. Yeah. Okay. Let me do this one. Thank you, bro. Maybe I'll come back later on. I'll bring some cash. We just got here. Thank you, bro. Appreciate it. I wish you good business. Okay. Nice to meet you, bro. Take care. Wow. What a good guy, man. Hey, everywhere you go, you find the Bangladeshis and the Pakistanis. Good people. I need to take you there. I know. She hasn't seen Pakistan or Bangladesh. But the people are always good. Hard-working people, man. You know, with all the good people that come to countries, there's also a lot of bad people that come. And it's always the bad people that give everybody else a bad name. And that's just sad. But it's the same truth in our country, right? It is what it is. Gladys deals with that all the time. She's Venezuelan. And there's so many beautiful, hard-working Venezuelan people. And then there's also a lot that just go to countries and start problems. It's the same circle of life. But good people. Glad I bought me a little leather wallet. Gladys actually gave me a good idea. She said I should do a leather market spree tomorrow. So I might have to do that. Maybe I'll buy a couple items and then maybe we'll send them off to some of the members. That sounds like a cool little hunt, right? Yes. And there'll be some great interactions because people are just lovely. Wow, look. Everything's leather. Gladys said this. I didn't realize that was like a thing here. Yeah, I told you we need leather. That's so cool. And we made it in front of the beautiful cathedral. Look at this, guys. It is impressive. So beautiful. That dome is huge. I think it's hard to put into words exactly how big this place is. It definitely doesn't look like any photo or video I've seen of this place before. It is massive. Wow. So impressive. And, yeah, there's a lot of people here. We'll dive on in a little deeper into the sightseeing later on this week. But, man, this is gorgeous. Yeah, I'm impressed. Dang, that facade is amazing. So many details. Look at all the statues, the frescas above the door. Wow. Okay, well, now we're heading to a sandwich stop that makes a famous Florentine sandwich. It has like 5,000 reviews on Google. And, like I said, I was looking up like a lot of the highly recommended trattorias, like pasta shops, pizza shops, and a lot of them don't open until 7 p.m. If you're from Florence or if you spend a lot of time in Italy, please let me know why that is. I find that pretty strange. In Milan, it wasn't the case. The restaurants were open, yeah, all day long, especially in the local neighborhood we were staying at. But here, it seems like 7 p.m. is the golden time. Man, look at this corner here. So much detail on every facade. It's beautiful. Oh, look, the bracelet scams. Oh, man. Dude, we're about to watch a scam right now, guys. This here is one of the most common ones. Yeah. Yeah, you got to give those back. Oh, you paid for them? Oh, no. Oh, okay. No, but I'm not going to walk around with them. Yeah. Yeah, that's one of the biggest scams, guys. Don't ever take anything free from anybody that's walking around. Give me 10 euros. Look, he just snatched them from the lady. That's crazy. Oh, look, they got the charms right there. Vamos. They probably got a Firenze charm. Wow, guys. So, yeah, that gentleman definitely saw me recording. But he snatched those off of that lady and was asking for 15 euros. Crazy. Very dangerous. You got to stay away from those people. Anyways, after you. We'll head back out, and let's make our way to the sandwich shop. But that is, like, one of the most common scams. The bracelet one. And then also the, yeah, the artist one. That's the one I wanted to talk to you about. A lot of the arts, they act like they're actually painting, but they're not. It's very interesting. We actually found out about that scam in Paris where, you know, people, they'll put, like, paint on their hands and pretend that they're painting these beautiful pictures. But it doesn't matter which one you walk up to. They would never actually be painting anything. They'll just kind of be going over the same colors with an empty brush. It's funny. But they get people all the time. You'll never actually see one of these artists right here drawing. I'm pretty sure the leather that I bought, too, wasn't the best. But I don't know 100% if that's true or not. This, though, I can tell you that it is definitely. Okay, this one looks a lot different. This one looks like it might actually be an artist. But there's a lot that, you know, they have, like, the famous Florence pictures, the Colosseum, stuff like that. And a lot of it is mass produced from China. Here they have a bunch of shops, stores. I really want an Alfogato. I've never had one. I've never tried one in my life. You need to try. You're going to try your first one in the right place. Yeah, I think so. Yeah. But, yeah, the sandwich that we wanted to try, ooh, they look so good. It's just up this road here. So we'll make our way there now. Okay, the sandwich shop that I got recommended on Google is somewhere right here. Gironi de Gotti. Let's see where it's at. But supposedly they specialize in a Florentine steak sandwich, which sounds amazing right now. Oh, right here. Gironi de Gotti. This place sounds nice. Sandwich? Mira, Florentina. Fiorentina. You know what? We're going to come into this sandwich shop, guys. Hello. How are you? Your first time here? First time. Look, this is classic menu. This is special. Remember, also it's possible to compose as you want, to change ingredients. Okay. What do you recommend? You like spicy? A little spicy. If you like a little spicy, try number one. Add the cream cheese. It's very good. Okay. If you like truffle, la rossa. La rossa. Okay, we'll try both. Okay. Yeah, thank you. You order at the guy. Thank you so much, bro. Thank you. Man, this place looks awesome. Thank you very much. Ciao. Hello, ciao. Can we do one of the la rossa? Okay. And one of the... Which is the other one? He just said the... Number one. Number one, yeah. With cream cheese. That's the move, huh? Cool, thank you. You're welcome. Wow, this is a beautiful sandwich shop. Yes. I love it. And it smells so delicious. It smells like truffle right now. No, just sparkling water. It's that little blue one? Yeah, two. Thank you. It is? Which one did you have? Okay, cool. Man, it looks good. It smells good. I'm excited. Where are you from? Oh, cool. And it's the best sandwich you've ever had. All right. Nice. Where are you from? She's from Venezuela. Okay. Yeah, and I'm from California. Oh, nice. Yeah. Thank you so much. Thank you. Wow, you heard the man? You heard the man from Texas? You always trust the man from Texas, man. They like everything big and good. So this sandwich has got to be good. And look at all the different bottles of wine they have up here as well. Nice, huh? And they got Wi-Fi in here. So if you guys want to check out this spot, I'll leave a Google Map location down below. But it is called Gironi. I don't know. Something like that. Nice. Whatever that means. But I'm not worried about what the name means. If the sandwich tastes good, it's good. Wow, guys. This looks and smells incredible. Man, they're nice and warm, huh? And we came in right before the rush. Look at the rush. A lot of people here. All right. You know what? Let me try this one first. Man, it's kind of hot though. The bread. It's toasted nicely. All right. I'm going to take a picture. I got to leave a review just like because that's how I found this spot. It's only fair. It's messed up when you go and you have a good experience and you don't review it. All right. Let's try this. I don't even know what mine is. Is that ham or turkey? It's probably turkey. Man, that's unbelievable. It has a little spice, a little kick to it. But it's real nice. That bread is so fresh and crunchy. Yeah, the meat inside is bomb. But that marinara with the sun-dried tomatoes, bro. That's where it's at. That is crazy. I forgot to film. Gladys already took a bite of it. How is it? Wow. This is the best sandwich I've ever had. The truffle bread is delicious. The cream cheese, the prosciutto, the bread. I've never had a bread like this before. It's so crispy. Amazing. Yeah, I agree. Probably the best sandwich I've ever had too. I want to try that one. I want to try that. Here, let's switch. You try this one after. I want to try that truffle. It smells like straight truffle in here. That is bomb. Give this one a try. Of course. Let me try your sandwich. Wow, this one also. I like yours a lot. This is a serious situation. How are we going to do to try other things? Because now I want to come back here tomorrow. Yeah, I want to try more. That sandwich was incredible. 10 out of 10 recommend. I would go there. There's a lot of other famous spots. That one had like 6,000 reviews. It got quite busy. I think that one hits the spot. I saw a couple other online that are very famous. People say you can wait in line up to 2 hours for a sandwich. That one right there. Delicious. Now, let's see what we get into. So, right now we came across Bivoli. One of the most famous affogato bars here in Florence. And this line is ridiculous. We're actually asking ChatGPT. What makes this place so special? And Chat said, well, it became viral on TikTok. It is a very popular spot. It's family ran, been that way since 1930. But I am not waiting in this line. So, you know what we're going to do? We're going to go to another one of ChatGPT's recommendations. Because I guess this place is really only as popular as it is because of TikTok. That's what social media would do to a business. Crazy. Unbelievable. Alright, we saw it. We don't got to wait in that line. Let's go and try another affogato though. Because I really want one. I think that sounds so good right now. I made the coffee on my hand. Yeah, that's a ridiculously long line. That's crazy, huh? And I was thinking like, oh, it might be the original affogato place or something. That's not the case. It's a good one. But it's just, it's viral. Yeah, we'll find another spot. The alternative to Vivoli was this one right here. La Carai. And it looks like it'll be quite nice. There's a few people outside. Nowhere near as much as the first one. And they do have cafe affogato. Let's try it. Oh, this place looks nice. Oh yeah, this shop looks so beautiful. Look at all the different gelato flavors they got. We actually had this one yesterday. Stracciatella. Very nice. Ciao. Oh, thank you. Ciao. Can we do two affogato? Two affogato? Yes. The classic one we make with vanilla whipped cream. But you can choose any flavor you like. What's the best one, you think? My favorite is tiramisu. Really? Okay. This goes very well. You can choose whatever you like. I don't suggest fruit and yogurt. Okay. Let's do... You know what? I think I'll go pistachio. Pistachio? Yeah. You want to go tiramisu? I'll go... Do you think red cherries? Yeah. Chocolate is very nice. Oh. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you so much. Please. Thank you. Wow, he's so nice. You can put anything in an affogato. I wasn't expecting that. Yeah. And it's nice that he was like, okay, nothing yogurt, nothing fruity. Awesome. Thank you so much. Yeah, we were going to go to Vivoli and then we saw your guys' reviews and we said, no, let's go there. Yeah, fair. Classic. I prefer classic. Yeah. Oh, really? The one over there is 8 euro? 9? Okay. Thank you so much. Thank you. I love that. He said that Vivoli makes it more Instagrammable. They make it more classic. They said this is the way he always had it since he was a kid. I prefer this way then. I prefer the more classic way. Let's try this. This is my first affogato ever. I've never tried one. Obviously, they sell them all around the world, but I've never tried one. But this is what I came all the way to Florence for, guys, was the affogato. I think I'm going to take a sip first. Why have I never tried this? That's already so good. Okay. That was whipped cream. Wow, the coffee is strong. There's some nuts in there. Oh, pistachio. Duh, I got pistachio. And then there's the pistachio ice cream down at the bottom. I am happy. Man, this is so good. And I'm glad I didn't have to wait in a crazy line for it. And I prefer the non-Instagrammable way. We've had too much of Instagram already. It's time to support other businesses, alright? One place goes viral and they get all the love. It's not fair. It's heaven in a cup. It's so good. It's hard to describe but you can just imagine. Coffee flavor and pistachio ice cream mixed together. A little whipped cream on top. It's a sweet bomb. It's so good. And now we have made it to Piazza della Signoria. I hope I pronounced that the right way. Or Signorio. And this place is gorgeous, guys. Look at this fountain. This is unbelievable. Man, that center statue is huge. I wish there was some plaques. That way I knew what I was looking at. But there isn't. There isn't any information. But it is gorgeous. So much detail. And then you got this big clock tower. Fortress looking thing. Man, what an amazing city. I was just telling Gladys, you know. I wasn't a big fan of Milan. This one here, I really love. I'm impressed. Oh, these are luxury stores. Look, they got Dolce & Gabbana. They got Ferla, Chanel, Valentino. Man, a lot of beautiful shops. Yeah, this place is impressive. You know what? I think Florence might be my favorite city in all of Italy. This place is gorgeous. Unbelievable. And there's a lot of shade as well, which I really like because it is very warm today. Wow. So pretty. Now, I want to take you guys to a very secret spot, okay? There is a secret portrait that Michelangelo had worked on while he was getting bothered by somebody else. And I want to show it to you guys because it's very well hidden. Here is actually a replica statue of the David, which we're going to go see tomorrow. And then here's Hercules, but it's actually right behind Hercules. I'm going to show you guys right now. Man, look at all these statues. It's impressive. This is why tomorrow we're also going to be doing a walking tour as well to learn a little bit about all of these different statues. And then look at this, guys. This here is the face of Michelangelo. Oh, that's so cool. Wow, it's real. I cannot believe. That's amazing, huh? Man, that's beautiful. So I'm going to read this to you guys. It says here that the legend behind the face, the notorious boar, the most popular story says that Michelangelo was frequently accosted in the Piazza della Signoria by a remarkably tedious acquaintance who would corner him and drone on with endless complaints. Trapped in the conversation but eager to get back to work, Michelangelo allegedly leaned against the palace wall and secretly chipped away at the stone using a chisel held behind his back, carving the talkative man's profile without even looking. Oh, so it's not Michelangelo's face. It's the man's face that would annoy him. That's awesome. It says another somber tale claims that Michelangelo was standing in the square when he witnessed a condemned man being led to the gallows. Deeply moved or intrigued by the expression of the man's face, he quickly etched the profile into the stone to capture the moment. Wow, man. We're in the land of Michelangelo, bro. This is crazy. Wow, guys. Look at this view. We just made it to a river viewpoint and this is beautiful. There's so many like hotels and restaurants along the sides, a couple stores as well. There's some people rowing. This is gorgeous. And we're actually on a street right now where they're selling all kinds of different gold and watches, jewelry, jewelry. But gold is famous here in Italy. So, that would be something very interesting to dabble on as well. But, you know, we might have to save that for another trip because I want to go check out the gold in Naples as well. Naples is known for its gold and we're also heading there later on this trip. So, I think from this viewpoint, I'm going to let you guys go. You know what? Let me show you guys the jewelry street. I'll show you the jewelry street and then I'll bring this video to an end because tomorrow we got a big long day ahead of us. I'm hoping I feel better tomorrow because right now I'm feeling a bit rough. But if I am, I will show you guys a lot more of the city. But yeah, these here are basically all gold and jewelry shops. It's pretty amazing actually. The stuff looks absolutely beautiful. Look at some of these items. It looks gorgeous. And the prices don't seem terrible to be honest with you guys. I feel like a lot of the jewelry is a lot more expensive at a place like Zales back home. This here is a gorgeous little street to get a gift from as well. So yeah, we'll definitely come back here again tomorrow. But I hope you guys enjoyed this travel day. Hopefully I was able to give you some good valuable information. If you were able to take something away from the video, let me know down in the comment section and I'll see you guys again soon for another one. I had a lot more planned for today but and like I said, I'm just not feeling the best today. So, I'm actually gonna go home, shower and try and get an early night's sleep so that I feel good tomorrow. And tomorrow we got a great reservation to go eat some Florentine steak as well. So, I'll see you guys tomorrow.
