Florence, with its rich history dating back to ancient times and the foundation of the Roman Empire, rose to prominence as the seat of the powerful and influential Medici family. It is widely acclaimed as the cradle of the Renaissance.

The historic city centre of Florence, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1982, boasts some of the world's most renowned Renaissance buildings, including the Basilica of San Miniato al Monte. At its heart lies the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, alongside the Baptistery of San Giovanni. Serving as the political hub, Piazza della Signoria, dating back to Roman times, features the Palazzo Vecchio, the former seat of government of the Republic of Florence.

One of the city's best-known landmarks is the famous Ponte Vecchio with its workshops built on the bridge. These were once slaughterhouses and tanneries but were converted into goldsmiths by decree of Cosimo de Medici. Today, the former workshops are home to jewellery and fashion shops.

However, the city also offers tourists much more beyond its cultural attractions. Florence has been renowned for its thriving tanning industry since the Middle Ages, with fashionable leather accessories like handbags making a significant fashion statement.

Consequently, numerous famous leather fashion outlets invite visitors to indulge in an extended shopping spree through the city centre.

A visit to a typical Italian ice cream parlour, such as the historic "Gelateria Vivoli," is a special treat. Ice cream was created in Florence by the artist Bernardo Buontalenti in honour of Caterina de Medici in 1565 and therefore enjoys a long tradition in the city.

Due to its central location, Florence serves as an ideal starting point for day trips to popular cities such as Pisa, Lucca, Siena, San Gimignano, Volterra, Montepulciano and the Chianti region. Coastal towns like Portoferraio, Livorno and Viareggio, as well as the beach at Vada, are also easily accessible from Florence by car.
