The one thing I will never regret doing is studying abroad. It will change your life. The excitement of living in another country, eating good food, and being able to legally drink all has its perks. Regardless of where you went, you probably had an incredible experience and you probably want to be there right now instead of wherever you are. For me, it has been a year since I studied abroad in Florence, Italy and to say "I miss it" is an understatement.

A year ago, I was gallivanting around a foreign country, having an amazing time. I see the photos that pop up on Facebook reminding me of what I was doing a year ago, and they make me a little sad. So, for anyone who studied abroad in Florence, Italy these pictures might break your heart. But they will remind you of the amazing time you had and abroad and that it is the most beautiful place on Earth.

The Duomo

Ugh the Duomo, the official name is The Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore. The iconic cathedral of Florence is the main attraction to Florence, it's massive size and beauty will make your jaw drop.

The Ponte Vecchio

Oh the classic Ponte Vecchio, the translation literally meaning old bridge. It dates back to the medieval era. It's known for the beautiful jewelry shops along the bridge

Gusta Pizza

The famous pizza place makes pizza into a heart shape for study abroad students. The place is always hopping with people.

The Central Market or Marcato Centrale Firenze

I still crave the pasta that I got in The Central Market. With a food court on the top level and a market on the bottom, it's the perfect place to go when you're hungry.

The Leather Markets

If you go to the leather markets, be prepared to spend money. With beautiful leather pieces to bring back to your family.

Uffizi Gallery

Home to many famous pieces of art that you have only seen in textbooks.

Santa Maria Nouvella

One of the four main basilicas of Florence. You probably past this on the way to the train station.

The Oil Shoppe

A favorite among the study abroad students. Serving panini and some of the best ice coffee you can find in Florence.

Boboli gardens

Some of the most beautiful gardens in Florence

And, of course...

Pizzale Michelangelo

The famous and beautiful view of the city of Florence.
