One of the most beautiful cities and the capital of art in the world, Florence is no doubt a must-visit. To escape the crowded populated city of Rome here is a place to enjoy the feeling of a small town even though the city itself is the opposite. It’s no surprise it is the birthplace of Renaissance and home to the world’s intellect and prominent writers, artists, and scholars such as Dante Alighieri (artist), Filippo Brunelleschi (engineer), to mention a few.

Before you get drowned in the arts in Uffizi Gallery, Basilica di Santa Croce, and architectures by Michelangelo's, Giambologna or canvasses by Botticelli and Bronzino, first soak up the city beauty in the magnificent Duomo or stroll through Boboli Gardens and Ponte Vecchio.
