About Florence

Florence is the cradle of the Renaissance, and the city itself is the museum: Brunelleschi's brick dome over the Duomo, the Medici's collections in the Uffizi, Michelangelo's David in the Accademia, all packed into a small, walkable center. It is art-saturated in the best way - every square and alley holds a masterpiece or a good story.
