About Florence

Why Visit Florence, Italy

Florence, a gem of Tuscany and the birthplace of the Renaissance, is renowned for its remarkable art, including Michelangelo's "David". The city was a central hub of medieval European trade and finance, making it one of the wealthiest cities of its time. Often called "the Athens of the Middle Ages," Florence preserves its ancient architecture and 13th-century palaces, such as the Palazzo Vecchio and the Ponte Vecchio.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Florence attracts millions of tourists each year. The city's key landmark is the medieval Florence Cathedral with its iconic dome, designed by Brunelleschi, and the terra-cotta bell tower by Giotto.

Florence's striking architecture includes the white-marble Baptistery, Bargello Palace, San Miniato al Monte Basilica, and the Medici Chapel.

Visiting Michelangelo's original "David" at the Galleria dell'Accademia is a must. The Accademia also features his other sculptures, like the "Prisoners" and Botticelli's "Madonna of the Sea". Another highlight is the Library of San Lorenzo, showcasing Michelangelo's architectural brilliance.

Renaissance landmarks include the Boboli Gardens and the Uffizi Gallery, home to masterpieces like Botticelli's "Primavera" and works by Caravaggio, Leonardo da Vinci, and Michelangelo.

Enhance your Florence itinerary with Tuscany wine tours, or visit nearby cities like Pisa, Lucca, or explore the Cinque Terre.
