Welcome to Florence
The birthplace of the Renaissance, Florence enchants in a way few cities can. A true monument to Italian romance, it captivates art lovers with the sublime architectural masterpieces of its iconic squares, museums, and monuments—Piazza della Signoria, Pitti Palace, Ponte Vecchio, Brunelleschi’s magnificent Duomo, the Uffizi Gallery, and the Accademia—all forming a cultural pilgrimage through an open-air museum.
Foodies will revel in the vibrant markets, generous platters of exquisite hams and cheeses, thick, flavorful T-bone steaks, rich lasagnes, and pappardelle with wild boar, all paired with copious glasses of local red wine. With breathtaking sunsets over the bridges, welcoming local artisans, frescoed palazzi, first-class restaurants, and aperitifs along the River Arno, Florence is charming, magical, creative, and authentic.
Whether it’s Pisa, known worldwide for its iconic tower, the enchanting coastal villages of the Cinque Terre, the splendid city of Siena, famed for its twice-yearly Palio, San Gimignano, the medieval Tuscan version of Manhattan, or Lucca, with its still-intact Renaissance walls, not to mention the lush vineyards and stone farmhouses that define the Chianti region—Florence & Beyond offers a world of unique experiences right at your doorstep, just waiting to be discovered.
