Publisher's Summary

Florencewalks Audio Guide proves to listeners that much of Florence's art is found not only in her world famous museums but on her streets as well. Florencewalks takes visitors on four intimate walking tours, revealing the treasures that can only be fully appreciated by those on foot. The neighborhoods include Dante's Florence; The Streets of the Renaissance Princes; Markets, Bazaars, and Antiques; and the Artisans' Quarter. Stroll down hushed alleys permeated with the aroma of fresh spices and produce. Enter sun-washed piazzas flanked by churches, artisans' workshops, and grand palazzo. Each tour leads visitors through centuries of Italian history and architecture, showing them the undisputed charms of this lovely city and revealing the scandals and anecdotes buried in its vivid and volatile past.

These four intimate walking tours can take as little as two hours or as long as a morning or afternoon, depending on whether you stop at shops, museums, or cafes which are pointed out along the way. You can also listen to the tapes before you leave to help you plan your day in Florence and they will be an enjoyable reminder for you when you return.

One of my favorite bedtime audiobooks

This is a superb sleep aid, painting a vivid picture of Florence as if you're right there. I've never been to Florence, but I have listened to this audiobook so many times before bed that I almost feel like I have.
Very soothing narration, interesting information, the only things that disturb falling asleep are the gong sounds (for when to pause the audiobook and walk to some street or other), but of course I realize it wasn't written as a sleep aid, so they're fine.
It would have been great to have just the narration without the gongs though, as I wonder how many other people are using it to fall asleep.
