Bigallo - new info point in Florence

Since the beginning of August, at the corner between Piazza del Duomo and Via Calzaioli, in Florence, at the Loggia del Bigallo, there is a new info point, where tourists can find all kind of information, maps, suggestion and support for their stay in Florence.
 It's an amazing infopoint, since the place looks more like a museum than an office.
It's actually also a museumm, that it's possible to be visited for free, but with a reservation calling : +39-055-288496 ( visit from August 6th to December 31st ).

 
 We think is a marvellous thing. So, if you don't get the information you need at Hotel Mario's ( we are usually able to offer the same service here at the desk ) you could go in this new "old" place.

For your stay in Florence, nothing better than Hotel Mario's, a great little charming hotel in the heart of Florence ( near the Duomo the train station of Santa Maria Novella and the San Lorenzo market )
