Florence, the birthplace of the Renaissance, was founded by Julius Caesar in 59 BC. The city's architectural evolution is a testament to its rich history, with the Romanesque Duomo dominating the skyline, followed by the Gothic styles of the 13th century and the Renaissance grandeur of the 15th century. Today, Florence is a city of art, culture, and history, with a strong emphasis on traditional craftsmanship and a thriving contemporary art scene.

Top Attractions in Florence
💡 Check the upstairs museum (€6) for the originals. The church itself is free and usually empty, so you can sit in peace - a rarity in central Florence.
💡 Skip the expensive upstairs pasta. Head to the ground floor's Nerbone for a €5 tripe sandwich or €4 bowl of lampredotto - a true Florentine lunch.
💡 Go just before sunset to see the city glow. Stay until the lights come on - it's far less crowded than during the day and the Duomo looks spectacular.
💡 Arrive at 5.15pm weekdays in summer to hear the monks sing Gregorian chant during vespers. It's a hauntingly beautiful experience, and free.
💡 Book ahead online (€6) - they limit visitors to 30 per 15-minute slot. If sold out, show up at opening and ask about returned tickets.
