Florence, jewel of the Renaissance, enchants with its timeless beauty. Its medieval streets evoke history at every turn, leading to the majestic Santa Maria del Fiore cathedral and its famous Brunelleschi dome. The Galleria degli Uffizi’s galleries house art treasures from Botticelli to Michelangelo. The Ponte Vecchio, with its boutiques overlooking the Arno, captivates romantic souls, while Tuscan flavors delight the taste buds in the trattorias.
