Florence highlights
From art to artifacts to architecture
Florence is as awe-inspiring on the outside as it is on the inside. With buildings designed by masters like Giotto and Brunelleschi, museums holding ancient Italian artifacts and galleries like the Uffizi displaying famous works from Botticelli to Da Vinci, Florence is said to house the largest concentration of the world’s most famous artworks.
Eat local
As well as making great scenery, the rolling green valleys around Florence make the food here as authentic and fresh as it gets. Enjoy regional ingredients like olive oil, prosciutto, wine and cheese in the Cucina Povera Toscana style – simple but tasty dishes at some of the great eateries, restaurants and markets across the city.
Walk in the footpaths of artists
A living symbol of the Renaissance, Florence is an ode to the artists and craftspeople whose talent and influence spread across Europe. Join your local leader for a stroll through the streets of this UNESCO World Heritage Historic Centre, often described as an ‘open-air museum.' Then, see the skyline from above after climbing the historic Duomo or Piazzale Michelangelo – it’s worth the stairs!
History at your fingertips
Florence thrived from the 14th to 16th centuries. From commerce to learning, this city has had a long and prosperous history. Discover some of the secrets in the Pitti Palace, once the royal residence of the Medici, Habsburg-Lorraine and Savoy dynasties. Today, it's a collection of museums showcasing treasures from Grand Dukes, Costume and Fashion, the Medici art collection and more.
