Florence is the capital of the Italian region of Tuscany. The Arno River runs through it. Florence is considered by many to be the cradle of the Renaissance and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The city’s old quarter is home to the Cathedral of Santa María del Fiore, which has some wonderful frescos of the final judgement, as well as the Bell Tower, which was designed by Giotto, and the Baptistery, with its famous gold plated doors.
One of the city’s most iconic sights is that of the medieval Ponte Vecchio Bridge over the Arno. You should also go and see Vía Flaminia, which has some elegant jewellers. In the famous Piazza Della Signoria you can see the Neptune Fountain, the Palazzo that is home to the city council and some famous sculptures. You should make time to visit the world’s premier museum of Renaissance art, the Uffizi Gallery, which has works by Botticelli, Michael Angelo, Piero della Francesca, Raffael and others. The Bargello is the sculpture museum, which is housed in the old prison. Enjoy a Florentine steak with some good Chinati wine in a good trattoria, have a coffee in Piazza della Republica and try some famous “Rivoire” chocolate in Piazza Della Signoría.
Florence has a great nightlife, with pubs, nightclubs and all of the facilities that you need to have an unforgettable holiday.
