The Place Firenze

Florence is an elegant city where history and culture are present everywhere. Set along the scenic banks of the Arno River, the city is celebrated as the birthplace of the Renaissance, a pivotal era that reshaped science and philosophy, as well as produced some of the world’s greatest artists. The Uffizi Gallery displays an incredible collection of Renaissance art, including works by Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and Botticelli.

Easily walkable, Florence is home to iconic architectural landmarks. The Duomo was designed by Brunelleschi and dominates the skyline, while the Ponte Vecchio — a medieval stone bridge lined with jewelry merchants — spans the Arno and connects the city center with the creative Oltrarno district. Whether you're exploring the grandeur of the Palazzo Pitti, enjoying the blossoms at the Boboli Gardens or savoring a gelato in a charming piazza, Florence is sure to charm you with its beauty and heritage.
