If you were to ask me, where should I go for a long weekend trip? Then I\u2019d most likely answer with Florence. The Tuscan gem, close-packed but stunning in looks, enchanting and more than with a touch of the romantic. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visiting Florence is like entering a classic film set. Walking its cobbled streets, you can find yourself in some famous movie scene. Amazing architecture as the backdrop, classic sculptures making up the foreground. The streets busy with noise and the smell of coffee resonating from the cafes. A romantic moment about to take place. Or a chase scene. I\u2019ll let you decide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Florence is a compact city, made for exploring on foot. A fashion powerhouse (Gucci and Salvatore Ferragamo<\/em>) to name two! A city where the Tuscan cuisine tantalises the taste buds. Get your Renaissance art head on as we take you around the best places to visit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Accademia<\/a> and Uffizi<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"The<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Take your time and study the iconic masterpiece that is known as David<\/em>. Michelangelo\u2019s masterpiece is just one of many in one of the world\u2019s most famous art galleries \u2013 Galleria Dell\u2019 Accademia. If it\u2019s your introduction to Renaissance art, then there\u2019s no better place to be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not to be outdone is Uffizi Gallery, where you\u2019ll find works from Botticelli, Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci. Two famous galleries, two places that you should add to your exploring. And if you choose skip-the-like options with your tickets, then wave goodbye to the long queues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Duomo<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If there is a word such as art out<\/em> having explored the two galleries, then take in the domineering Duomo. Once home to the world\u2019s largest dome, you can climb the stairs to the top for views across the city. On a sad note, the graffiti as you wind your way up and then down the small stairways takes a bit of the pleasure out of the experience. See past that and it\u2019s a glorious thing to do. Just remember it\u2019s quite a climb, so take your time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Wandering the streets<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Just wandering the streets is fun! You\u2019ve got plenty of grand architecture to see, there\u2019s the Arno River to enjoy, and the many boutique shops to explore. Not forgetting to try out the Tuscan cuisine and the simple joy that is sitting outside an Italian caf\u00e9, coffee in hand, watching the world go by.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Into Tuscany<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"The<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There are two places of interest that are reachable from Florence, and well worth adding to your trip. One is all about a famous tower and the other is all about tasting some fine wine!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7\u00a0Pisa <\/a><\/strong>\u2013 famous of course for its architectural leanings! No pun intended. It\u2019s well worth heading there to see the structure and have a wander. The Romanesque buildings and Renaissance piazzas make for a pleasant day away. It\u2019s a bit like a pilgrimage.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7\u00a0Chianti<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 This celebrated countryside is stunning! And the chance to explore the area, look around the Tuscany hill towns and taste the exotic wines. It’s a tour that needs no more explaining, really. Sometimes it\u2019s the simple things that create lasting memories. With countryside so lush, towns so cute, and wine tasting so good.\u00a0Chianti is a day trip away you have to do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Florence is a true Italian gem. A city <\/a>that each time you walk around, something new is revealed that just makes it even more special. Is it any wonder it features such highly on people\u2019s lists? Visit, and you will undoubtedly fall for it too.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
