Florence, Italy, holidays offer you a nice trip to the city where art, history, and beauty nicely mix. The Italians call it Firenze, and it still holds the title of the Renaissance's birthplace, a living masterpiece that has drawn and nurtured artists, thinkers, and tourists for centuries.
The remarkable Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore—the Duomo—at once steals the limelight with Brunelleschi’s famous dome. A climb to the top rewards you with views that are nothing short of breathtaking over Florence’s terracotta rooftops and the Tuscan hills that surround them. Close by, the Tower of Giotto and the Baptistery of St. John create what is probably the most stunning architectural group in Europe.
All the great artwork that the world has to offer is one thing that Florence can boast about. At the Uffizi Gallery, you meet the likes of Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, and Michelangelo, while the Galleria dell’Accademia exhibits the spectacular Michelangelo’s David, a true symbol of artistic genius.
Go for a walk in the direction of the Ponte Vecchio, the old bridge filled with goldsmiths and gems, or you may just want to spend some time in Piazza della Signoria—an open-air museum amidst grand buildings and impressive sculptures.
Besides, the city being Tuscany's capital means that it also offers the most unforgettable culinary delights and wines: treat yourself with Chianti, olive oil, handmade pasta, and creamy gelato under the golden Italian sun. When it’s night, the golden light bounces back from the Arno River, and Florence is filled with an aura of magic.
