Welcome to Florence!
Throughout the course of history, Florence, nestled in the Tuscan hills, has cast a long shadow. As the birthplace of the Renaissance, Florence (also known as Florence) served as a safe haven for the influential Medici family and served as a source of inspiration for artists such as Michelangelo (David) and Brunelleschi (the Duomo). It is possible that you would get the impression that you had transported back in time to the 14th century if it were not for the trendy Italians and chic businesses that line the Via Tornabuoni neighborhood. But the Renaissance art is not the only reason to visit Florence; you also come to Florence for the breathtaking sunsets, the delicious Italian cuisine, and the romantic allure of the city. To get the most out of your stay in Florence, consider going on one of the city’s most popular tours and having a native guide show you around.
The museums, palaces, and cathedrals of Florence are home to some of the most beautiful and significant works of art in the whole world. The Cathedral, the Baptistery, the Uffizi Gallery, the Bargello, and the Accademia are among the most well-known and significant landmarks in Florence.
The churches of Santa Maria Novella and Santa Croce are like art galleries in their own right, and the library of San Lorenzo is a remarkable display of the architectural talent that Michelangelo had. Continue to explore some of the city’s oldest streets until you reach the Arno River, then make your way across the Ponte Vecchio and visit the Oltrarno, which is considered to be Florence’s “newest” neighborhood. Make sure that you schedule some time in your schedule to visit the Pitti Palace, which is home to a rich and diverse art collection.
If you are getting tired of seeing monuments and museums, you should go outside. Spend a day in the Boboli Gardens or climb the hill to the church of San Miniato al Monte to get a breathtaking perspective of Florence, Italy. Both of these adventures are highly recommended.
A journey to Florence and all of its amazing treasures is waiting for you!
