To mkamionka: Waiting list

[maloutim]

Actually, the most popular spots now have to be booked online in advance. Then the waiting is rather short. To make surre, it's best to book round 9 a.m. The crowds haven't all got up yet :-)
Have a good night.

Marie Louise: are you talking about Florence or world in general?
M

[maloutim]

I can't really talk about the world in general as I haven't travelled far away for a quite a while.
But I can talk about Rome, Florence and Paris. And this is the way it goes in those cities (in the way of booking in advance I mean).
But that only applies to the very famous places like :
--Florence : Duomo- Uffizi gallery- Palazzo Pitti- The other places, we visited without pre-booking and without too long a queue. There are also lovely parks : Bobboli - Giardino dei semplici (paying)... Giardino della fortezza - Parco delle cascine - Giardino Bardini - Piazza Michelangelo....(non paying)
--Rome : Vatican- Colosseum- Foro Romano- Galleria Borghese.
Then there were lovely places like Caracalla Baths, a very relaxing place with hardly anybody. Trastevere or Lungo Tevere, completely different from the mass touristy places....
I hope I have helped you a little.
Kind regards.
Marie-Louise.
