Florence tuscany Italy is the capital city of the Tuscany region and is one of the country's most important and historic cities. Full of beautiful, Renaissance-style buildings, including wonderful churches and enormous palaces, Florence is steeped in culture and atmosphere, and has not changed greatly since the 16th century.
Florence is the heart of Renaissance Italy and one of Italy's most visited cities. Florence has many interesting museums, beautiful churches and buildings, and impressive artwork. Here are some recommended travel books and guides to help you get the most out of your travels to Florence.

Florence, small and immense and at the same time, is an open air museum grown more beautiful over the centuries; a treasure chest enclosed by ancient walls that safeguard grandiose masterworks of art and architecture so close that you can almost touch them.
From its magnificent position, the city sits at the feet of the Appennine Mountains in a valley that opens onto the Arno Plain. Its buildings and monuments tell stories of art, war and life. Its streets, today crowded with tourists, are the same ones through which Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Dante and many other of the most illustrious minds of all time, threaded their way.

So many lookers in such a good-looking city! Naked like Michelangelo’s David or rugged up in the latest winter fashion by their own world-class designers, Florentines and their city never fail to impress. Already in need of oxygen after admiring their art, visitors are mesmerised by the vision of locals at aperitivo time, effortlessly strutting, flirting and evidently enjoying life. At times it seems nothing much has changed since the days of the Medici.

Florence is the true home of classical art, its well worn cobbled streets tramped by the likes of Michelangelo, Botticelli and Leonardo da Vinci who lived and worked here under the patronage of the powerful ruling Medici family. Today those who holiday in Florence are awestruck by the architectural beauty of the city.

Florence is the birthplace of the Renaissance. It is home to some of the greatest thinkers of that time period, if not all of history. Francesco Petrarch, Dante, Galileo Galilei, Nicolo Machiavelli, The Medici, Giovanni Boccaccio, Michelangelo Buonarotti to name only a few. The city is full of museums including the Accademia which houses the statue of David; the Uffizi which holds thousands of Renaissance and earlier treasures. One can merely walk and admire the famous architecture lining the streets, much of which was created in the Middle Ages or the Renaissance. The famous Arno river runs through the middle of the great city and provides a beautiful view, especially of the Ponte Vecchio, which is the only bridge that remained standing after World War II.

Enjoy the great tuscan food and tuscan (chianti) wines in the many good restaurants in Florence. You will also find some of the best ice cream you will ever taste!
