Welcome to Florence, Italy

Couched in the olive-green hills of Tuscany, Florence gave birth to the Renaissance in the 1300s and remains a cradle of art and culture today. The rosy terra-cotta dome of its Duomo rises over medieval streets, colorful piazzas, artisan shops and Medici palaces.

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 boutique, budget or luxury hotel in the treasured Italian city of Florence (Firenze)! Peak season runs from May to October, when conferences and foreign tourists arrive, boosting the average price of a room to over $340. Bargains appear in August (when Italy heads to the beach) and November.

Insider Travel Tips

  • Florence's Duomo (Cathedral) is “Santa Maria del Fiore” (Lady of the flower), alluding to the city's Latin name Florentia (“city of flowers”). Topped by an octagonal dome, it is 153 meters long, more than a soccer field.
  • For a dreamy panoramic view of Florence, stroll 12 minutes across the Arno River from the Uffizi Gallery up to the hillside terrace of Piazzale Michelangelo.
  • Firenze Card is 3-day pass to 60 museums (including Uffizi, Accademia Gallery, Pitti Palace) and public transport for 85€. Helps avoid long queues at ticket offices!
  • Palazzo Strozzi hosts an exhibition dedicated to American artist Mark Rothko from March 14 to August 23, 2026.
  • Oltrarno ("beyond" the Arno river) is known for artisan workshops and student cafes. Visit sculptors, leather ateliers, printing and framing shops. Some craftsmen may sell their items. Begin at Piazza Santo Spirito.
  • Day-trips: regional trains run from Florence to Pisa in 1 hour and 20 minutes. Or tour the Chianti wine region and sample olive oil, cheeses, and cured meats at hillside farms.
