As you make your way south to the Tuscany region, inhale the beauty of the incredible surroundings of Florence, that has given the world treasures of the Renaissance. The city has preserved the best that was gifted by the talents of the 14th century: gorgeous fortified palaces, the striking Florence Cathedral with the tiled dome by Brunelleschi, the Baboli Gardens rich in statues and the top-notch art museums. During your tour to Italy visit galleries in Florence, which are set in breathtaking palazzos and hold the relics of the Renaissance era, as such “David” by Michelangelo is housed in the Accademia Gallery, while the Uffizi Gallery displays Sandro Botticelli’s “The Birth of Venus” and Leonardo da Vinci’s “Annunciation”.
And the surprises don’t stop at that! Only about an hour ride from Florence and you’re looking at the most recognized symbol of the country and an unmissable stop during an Italy tour - the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
The 8-storey white marble bell tower, constructed in the 12th century is a miracle of engineering and one of the tallest buildings of its time.
Although the biggest part of the tower’s charm is its tilt, not all know that it occurred as a result of the unknown architect's miscalculation and mistake, but it nevertheless impeccably completes the Piazza dei Miracoli cathedral complex. Rome, in this case, would be a great addition to your Italy itinerary. And since traveling between Florence Rome by train is the best option, you can take the
train from Florence to Rome, which provides a direct connection between these cities.
