Slow tourism isn't about seeing less — it's about actually seeing.
Florence rewards the people who don't have a list to check off: the ones who stumble into a courtyard off Via dei Servi, sit long enough at a café to notice the light shifting on the facade across the street, or take a wrong turn and end up somewhere better.
Staying in an apartment in the city changes the rhythm entirely. You shop at the same market, greet the same faces, and after a few days you stop feeling like a visitor.
