Florence Travel Guide
Florence: Culture, art, architecture, fashion and history, Italian style. It’s one of the most beautiful cities in the world and has the rich cultural heritage to match. The Tuscany capital is an Italian jewel that allures discerning travelers to its fairytale cobblestone streets, renowned art galleries, whimsical gardens, elegant piazzas and sumptuous restaurants. Florence is a luxury travel gem offering exquisite apartments, luxury hotels and lavish services that attend to every need so you can soak up the best of this fascinating city.
As the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance and the celebrated embodiment of Tuscan culture, Florence is a cultivated beauty. The rich history is abundant with celebrated art masters and boldface names like DaVinci, Dante Alighieri, Machiavelli, Fra Angelico and Michelangelo. From the breathtaking statue of David to the majestic Duomo that dominates the Florentine skyline, Florence is an artistic kingdom crafted out of elegant architecture, palaces and frescoes.
Armed with golden florins, the Florentines have deeply invested in their sparkling city over the years, creating a strong sense of pride among the locals. At first glance, it's easy to see what the fuss is all about. Visitors can wander through the halls of the Galleria degli Uffizi and see Botticelli's Birth of Venus and other masterpieces commissioned by the famed Medici family. Enjoy an espresso in the museum café and take in the postcard views of the Palazzo Vecchio, Florence's Romanesque town hall. Another must-see is the Medici family palace, the Palazzo Pitti, on the south side of the River Arno. Just down from the iconic Ponte Vecchio, the majestic residence was home to the Medicis and the ruling families of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany in the 16th century. Today, its impressive galleries and famed Boboli gardens are open to the public, providing visitors a chance to taste the enriched lifestyle of Florentine royalty.
Florence is a walkable city, as most of the sites are scattered around the center and the River Arno. Take a break from the flourishing city and explore the golden Tuscan countryside; visitors can enjoy a savory afternoon of wine tasting or sampling the local cuisine. As the Tuscan capital, Florence is the epitome of the enriched Tuscan culture and overflows with fine restaurants, chic bars and tantalizing boutiques.
