Florence
Florence, the capital of the region of Tuscany, is situated in the North West of Italy, surrounded by the wine-growing hills of Chianti. The streets are narrow and enclosed on either side by granite palaces. It seems every building holds a beautiful masterpiece demanding your attention.
This is a thriving and vibrant city evoking memories of the past. Winter can be surprisingly pleasant, with crisp air and sunny days, however early autumn is said to be the best time to visit, as restaurants have an abundance of fine wild mushrooms and the air is filled with the scent of freshly pressed olive oil.
- Visit the famous Palazzo Vecchio & Piazza Della Signoria.
- Sample excellent local cuisine around Piazza Santa Maria Novella.
- Take a walk down Via dei Tornabuoni and Via de' Calzaiuoli for some of Italy's most stylish stores.
