Welcome to Florence

Come linger in this living museum to please the senses. Marvel at masterpieces by Botticelli in the Uffizi Gallery. The Brancacci Chapel harbors vivid frescoes by Masaccio. Stroll to the Accademia to see Michelangelo's David. Let us help you choose a budget or luxury hotel in the treasured Italian city of Florence!

Insider Travel Tips

  • You could take a regional train from Florence to Pisa, as a sightseeing day trip, only 1 hour and 20 minutes away by regional train.
  • For a dreamy panoramic view of Florence, walk 10 minutes across the Arno River to the hillside terrace of Piazzale Michelangelo.
  • Florence's Cathedral is 153 meters in length, longer than a soccer field. Topped by an octagonal dome, its name “Santa Maria del Fiore” (Lady of the flower) alludes to the city's Latin name Florentia (“city of flowers”).
  • Take cooking classes in Florence at Dado's Kitchen to make fresh pasta, gnocchi, and gelato. Join chef Riccardo Pinzani at this school on via Tornabuoni.
