"It is important to be respectful of local customs and traditions when visiting Florence. Avoid making loud noises or speaking too loudly in public places, as this is considered rude. It is also important to dress modestly, especially when visiting religious sites. Refrain from taking photos of people without their permission, as this is considered intrusive. Additionally, it is important to be aware of the local tipping customs and to be respectful of the local language," remarked another expat in Florence, Italy.
"Drinking cappuccino after 1pm, not having coffee after dinner, wearing my gym clothes outside of the gym, trying to flag down a taxi (call or go to stands instead)," said a member in Florence, Italy.
