Florence – The Cradle of Renaissance

Florence, known as Firenze in Italian, stands as the heart of the Renaissance and one of the world’s most iconic cultural destinations. This city is a living museum, every street, square, and bridge tells a story of art and innovation. Start with the magnificent Duomo di Santa Maria del Fiore, whose dome by Brunelleschi dominates the skyline. Explore the Uffizi Gallery, home to masterpieces by Leonardo da Vinci, Botticelli, and Michelangelo, and then stroll to the Ponte Vecchio, a bridge lined with jewelry shops overlooking the Arno River.
For a panoramic view, climb up to Piazzale Michelangelo during sunset, a breathtaking experience that captures the spirit of Florence. Don’t forget to enjoy authentic Tuscan cuisine, from ribollita soup to bistecca alla fiorentina.
