Have you ever been to Florence, Italy?

I won a trip there through work. Any suggestions on places to see, food to eat or things to be aware of?

Not in Florence specifically, but if you have enough time I'd try to see some Tuscany's west [i]coast[/i] (and even the islands), not just the interior of the region ... and sample some Brunello, Chianti and Vernaccia di San Gimignano wines (but not pointless "Super Tuscan" blends of native grapes with non-native grapes like cabernet)

I would want to see this park myself:

Actually, in Florence specifically I [i]would[/i] love to sample the local [i]vino sfuso[/i] option:
