Marco has reopened! Today is his first day back open -- I am visiting Florence and was very disappointed to learn that Marco and his father had closed over the pandemic (understandable, of course, that they would close). I kept walking by the shop once a day midday to see if they would re-open since Florence is already teaming with tourists (I know, I am one of them). To my great luck, today Marco was there and still offering a great rate! He said he will be open whenever the Uffizi is open (so closed Mondays) and he will be closed for Easter. His rate is *astronomically* better than other exchanges and is close to the fees you would pay to use the ATM (and less if your bank and the Italian bank charge you fees). Plus, he is a local Florentine so I would rather him have my fees than the bank. read more
