Florence
, Italy Florence won’t disappoint tourists who want an Italian experience but couldn’t afford visiting more than one city. Even better is the fact that most of its attractions are within walking distance of each other. So what are you waiting for? Take out a comfy pair of shoes and go to Florence. It’s one of the top 10 European city break destinations.
Florence was the birthplace of Italian Renaissance and rightfully earned its title as ‘Renaissance capital’ of the world. From art to architecture, the city has a lot of fine examples in this style. The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore is probably the best in terms of structure. Others call it “The Duomo” or simply Florence Cathedral. Inside, the 721-year old church is adorned with mosaics, stained glass windows, frescoes, and Renaissance artworks. Be sure not to miss out on The Baptistery of John the Baptist, one of the city’s oldest buildings. Giotto’s Bell Tower is also close by and another must-see in Florence.
In addition to its remarkable churches, the Florentine bridges and palazzos should give you more reason to travel to Florence. As you enjoy all these beautiful sights you too can indulge in great food and wine that the city can offer. Besides, how can you say no to a UNESCO World Heritage Site? That’s what the city is – a living, breathing testament to the many wonders of Europe.
