Exploring Florence on Foot

Following a suggested schedule is a great way to pass by specific monuments, experiencing the best of each area to save you time and energy while allowing you to discover things you may have never noticed, particularly as Florence is so rich in details,     1     and monuments that you might not know where to look given the many choices!

Here are the three self-guided itinerary routes you can follow, divided     2     by areas of the city:

· The Centro Storico: The historical area around the Duomo

· The Oltrarno, the left bank of the Arno river

· A climb up to Piazzale Michelangeloand San Miniato

Travelling on foot, as opposed to a bicycle or bus (most of the center is closed off to cars),     3     a pace that opens your eyes to various hidden treasures that you would not have seen otherwise. I always love learning about a city and seeing the sights by walking from one place to the next (when they are in a reasonable distance) while making short detours down     4     streets that catch my attention.

If you’re instead interested in a(an)     5     walking tour, take a look at this selection. I always encounter small shops, stores, and unexpected treasures of the city that I would have never seen. And these are     6     the small things that make a city special and beautiful by simply following one of the proposed walking tours below, you can explore Florence in a fun and active way without     7     any of the top sights!

If you have several days to see the city, consider taking the time to visit the inside of some of the main     8     and using a whole day’s time to complete the tour. I like to get started early when walking in the city center because it is clear of tourist crowds, AND it is much cooler AND the morning light is stunning (great for photos)!

Finally, my friend, a travel planner, together with me, strongly     9     a place for your walking schedule—the “Centro Storico” or Historical Center around the Duomo. This plan allows you to see all of the main sights and some of the smaller hidden places in between what is considered the heart of the     10     center. Consider just taking the walk and admiring everything from the outside if you are short on time.

Spain Looks to Chinese Travelers

Spain's tourism industry is looking to Chinese tourists for its high-end market, according to the president of the Spain-China Tourism Association.

“It is the kind of tourism that is not only interested in the sun, beach and the all-included     1     . They enjoy good food, wine, history and nature, and the new Chinese tourists would also want to spend more money in Spain,” said Rafael Cascales in a recent    2     with Xinhua.

The Spanish business leader described the     3     Chinese tourists as being younger, more international, and perhaps including more women. “They also travel on their own or in couples or in smaller groups. The     4     large groups of visitors have not disappeared, but this new form of traveling is becoming more important,” he said.

Speaking of the     5     pattern of the new kind of Chinese tourists the Tourism Association president said, “The money they spend is     6     better because they will book one flight with one airline, the hotel with another company and the restaurant with another.”

In his eyes, “Chinese tourists are very important because they     7     two things: there are a large number of them and they spend more money than anyone else — almost four times more than tourists from other countries.”

They not only travel abroad in the summer months when Spain has to    8     with the sun and beaches in countries such as Turkey and Egypt, but also travel in the off-peak seasons of a year, according to Cascales.

Spain is the second most popular tourist destination in the world, only after France. It attracted about 82 million visitors in 2017, 700,000 of them from China, a number which the United Nations World Tourism Organization     9     will rise to about 1 million by 2021.

“We are ready; we have the infrastructure (基础设施)at every level,     10     in hotel capacity. Here those visitors can find what they are looking for, including the luxury items which distinguish them,” Cascales noted.
