Okay. So the dollar is not doing so well in Europe. But don't let that stop you from visiting Florence. A new promotional campaign called The Fiorino Effect, sponsored by the Province of Florence and the the Florence Tourist Board will provide some good news for American tourists visiting Florence from May 15, 2008 to December 31, 2008.

Visit the Florence Tourist Board Website and download a voucher good for 10% off of your stay in participating hotels, and meals at participating restaurants. Many Florence museums and theatres will also be offering discounts on their entrance fees to exhibits, concerts and productions.
