The heart of the Renaissance — the Uffizi, the Duomo, and a skyline that dissolves into Tuscany.
Florence is the birthplace of the Renaissance and the world's largest outdoor gallery — the Uffizi, Michelangelo's David, Brunelleschi's dome, and the Ponte Vecchio are all within a short walk of each other. Tuscany's capital is small (just 380,000 people) but incomparably rich in art, architecture, and food culture. Chianti wines grow just an hour's drive away.
Best time to visit
April–May or September–October — summer is hot and very crowded
