Visit Italy > Toscany > Florence

Florence is a must-see city for any art lover, but its delights reach far beyond the museums and galleries. The city itself is a piece of art - Stendhal himself felt so taken by the city that he was unable to walk. Yes, Florence is not only the birthplace of the Renaissance but also of Stendhal syndrome. Do not be ashamed if you lose your balance here while gazing at the sights. Countless tourists have succumbed to the same fate, and really, there are worse ways to go.

Florence is one of the most visited tourist destinations of the world. At least once in a life time, you’d like to take a close look at the David of Michelangelo, or the Venere of Botticelli, or visit the Uffizi Gallery, the Pitti Palace, the Boboli Gardens, the Brunelleschi’s Dome, etc. etc. As a matter of fact, there are few places in the world that have such a huge concentration of monuments and masterpieces in such a small space.
