Florence is like a small and
immense open air museum. The Italian city has grown more and more beautiful
over the centuries, making it a popular historic destination. Florence is just a few hour drives from Italy’s Capital Rome. Tourists usually include
Florence in their Europe Tour while visiting Pisa and Rome. The history of
Florence dates back to 59th century, making it a city full of Roman
Art and Architecture. It is often said that Florence is a place where Leonardo
Da Vinci learnt how to Paint. Flooded with Historic Buildings, Beautiful
Churches and Popular Monuments; Florence has emerged as a distinctive feature
of Europe.
While going around the city, you
will witness extensive Art and Architecture depicting stories of History, War
and Life. Streets today crowded with
Tourists, are the same ones through which Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo and
many other of the most illustrious minds of all time threaded their way. As Florence is a small city, getting around is
fairly easy. In fact, you can explore the whole city in 2 days. Explore the city on foot to closely cherish
its beauty. Places to visit include the Uffizi
Gallery, Galleria dell’Accademia, Piazza del Duomo, Brunelleschi’s Dome. Make sure
that nearly all Museums in Florence are closed on Mondays, and also have strict
timings. Book tickets in advance as Ticket Lines here may be long.
Food in Florence is great.
Restaurants and Cafes are filled with wide variety of Italian Food and
Desserts. Beef, Sea Food and Breads are very famous. Streets are filled with
Snack corners and Cafes serving dishes from Florence and other parts of Tuscany.
Italian Desserts such as Gelato, Pastries and cakes are very popular. Desserts
here are so exotic, they will compel you to give up your diet plans for a few
days.
Shopping is decent here with
shops and street markets all around the city. You will find Italian Leather
goods at many places. They are great and must be tried. Souvenirs of famous
buildings and monuments can be found everywhere. Buy some to take back memories
of this beautiful city. Apart from these, shopping is as it is in other cities.
We would advise to invest your time more in sightseeing and getting
around. Consider shopping only when you
have extra time at hand.
The best way of getting to
Florence is by Rail. Though Florence has an Airport, but it’s not well served.
There are two more Airports, but they are far from the city and served only by
Low Cost Carriers. If you are coming from other parts of Europe, Rail is the
best option. Roads and Highway networks are also good around Florence, but are
often suffering from huge traffic jams. Visit Florence along with other nearby
cities like Rome and Pisa. Visitors from other Continents should club Florence
with their Europe Tour. Arriving at Rome or Milan, and taking a train to
Florence will also give you a glimpse of the countryside. Both Rome and Milan
are well connected Airports and it’s easy to find flights to them.
So, go ahead and experience the
Art, Architecture and History of Florence.’
