OVERVIEW > 

Tucked away amidst Tuscan hills, Florence is a cultural, artistic and architechtural gem. The city was very much the epicentre of the Italian Renaissance and remains one of the world's top attractions for lovers of art. Its famous sons like Leonardo Da Vinci, Machiavelli and Michelangelo have left behind a lasting legacy of masterpieces.

Bestowed with stunning palaces, churches and museums, Florence is a mecca for culture vultures. Among the unmissable sights are Michelangelo’s statue of David, the impressive Uffizi gallery and the spectacular Duomo cathedral - the fourth largest in the world.
 
 


If art is not quite your thing, don’t dismay. Florence has plenty of designer shops and small boutiques for the shopaholic and an abundance of great restaurants, pizzerias and trattorias for those who enjoy fine Italian cuisine.
