Florence Florence

The extraordinary façade of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore rises above terra cotta rooftops. A masterpiece of white, rose, and olive green marble, it is surrounded by a city renowned for its unrivaled art and illustrious history. In iconic palazzos and radiant piazzas where the powerful Medici clan once danced amongst Michelangelo and Botticelli, encapsulating structures of beautiful symmetry dwell. The impressive Uffizi, magnificent storehouse of unparalleled art, leads to the glorious River Arno. Beneath graceful bridges it flows, meandering through Florence's medieval heart. It whispers of a time when the world's most brilliant minds flourished in Europe's most dazzling city and a magical era known as the Renaissance emerged.
