Florence Versus Venice

I enjoyed Florence more than Venice. Venice is a more beautiful city with its canals, islands and ancient architecture but it also seemed tourist driven. Florence seemed more like a real Italian city filled with Italians living their day to day lives. Florence was also where Michelangelo came from, being there, in that world was comforting. The streets of the city were a bit busy but in the areas I visited you could basically cross any street anywhere at easily. The car traffic seemed minimal. The car traffic all over Europe actually seems rather minimal after the chaos in Bangkok.
