Rome and Florence in December

[borich_planner]

I am going to Italy from the 4th to 9th December for a spot of Christmas shopping with my girlfriend as her grand parents leave in Mentana just east of Rome. I have been to Rome many times and I think Christmas it will be really nice with the buzz of Christmas and well Rome at night looks fantastic.

However, are we are hiring a car we thought about heading north to stay in Florence on the Saturday night. Has anyone here been to Florence in December? What’s it like their in Christmas time? Are their markets there etc?

Finally what sites do you recommend to see in Florence, we will be there from late sat morning to the Sunday evening.

Rome is nice in summer and the sites are amazing, but I have been there so many times So I thought Florence will be a good trip, and then Ositia, Hadrians Villa, and pompeii for the rest of the break
