Florence
Florence is one of Italy's most enchanting cities. And it's easy to see why, with some of the most famous art in the world on display, a beautifully romantic setting, shopping aplenty and superb Tuscan food. Florence, the city of the lily, gave birth to the Renaissance and changed the way we see the world.
A walk along the Arno river offers views that haven't much changed in 700 years; navigating Piazza della Signoria is a great experience. It's the heart of the city, and home to the Uffizi museum - the world's finest repository of Italian Renaissance art. Florence offers frescoes, sculptures, churches, palaces, and other monuments from the richest cultural flowering the world has known. Names from its dazzling historical past - Dante, Michelangelo, Galileo, Machiavelli - are some of the most resonant of the medieval age.
But to see the Tuscan capital simply as Europe’s preeminent city of art would be to ignore not only its role as a dynamic and cosmopolitan metropolis, but also to overlook its more unsung charms - gardens, idyllic strolls on summer evenings, specialty shopping, great views over majestic cityscapes, eating experiences that range from historic cafés to the country’s most highly rated restaurants, and the kind of seductive and romantic pleasures that somehow only Italy knows how to provide. What's more, if you feel like exploring further, you can be deep in lovely Chianti countryside in less than half an hour.
