Florence, the capital of Tuscany, despite its popularity with tourists from around the globe is a city almost lost in time, built as it is on an overwhelming wealth of art, culture, and history, the birthplace of the Renaissance and the humanities. Of course, you will visit its Uffizi Gallery and Accademia Gallery which are home to many masterpieces by artists with household names, like Michelangelo, da Vinci, Raphael, and so many others. But you don't need to be in a museum, as the the streets are a living museum of Renaissance architecture, sculture- graced piazzas, and frescoed buildings.
The Cathedral Santa Maria del Fiore, called "Il Duomo", and the iconic Ponte Vecchio are pat of your daily passage. Also, explore historical sites like the Medici Chapel and Palazzo Vecchio, the Pitti Palace, and the Boboli Gardens.
For foodies, indulge in traditional Tuscan cuisine, handmade pastas, Florentine Beef dishes, and a visit to the Mercato Centrale for fresh produce and local delicacies and exceptional Tuscan wines.
Florence is the perfect base for exploring Tuscany’s beautiful towns, including Siena and Pisa, and wine tours in the Chianti region.
