About Florence
Florence was the heart of the Italian Renaissance, nurtured by wealthy families such as the Medici who patronised artists, architects and thinkers. Its compact historic centre holds a great cathedral, medieval palaces and some of the world's finest art. Today it is a walkable city of galleries, leather workshops and Tuscan cooking.
A practical first trip balances the must-sees with one unscheduled half-day.
