The heart of the Tuscany region, glorious Florence, is deservingly one of the most traveled destinations in Italy. Often called an open-air museum, the cradle of Renaissance hides surprises at every corner and would definitely become an icing on the cake of any Italy vacation.

Your Florence itinerary should start from the historic center of the city, housing some fantastic architectural masterpieces that just leave everyone in awe. The key sight and the primary icon of the town is the breathtaking Cathedral di Santa Maria del Fiore, designed by Brunelleschi and Giotto.
