Florence is definitely one of the must-visits in Italy. Having been the home of the most prestigious families of bankers of the middle ages, and having been for over two centuries under the Medici, one of the most enlightened ruling families in the history of Italy, it is a place where culture has flourished, and where the most renowned artists and architects of the Renaissance have had the chance to work at their best.

Florence is a city where history is everywhere, every street has its own charms, where there are hundreds of beautiful palaces, and every church has frescoes worth remembering. It is also surrounded by a land which is rich and charming, with rolling hills and streets that wind around them, vineyards and fruit orchards, old country mansions and fields, often preserving their medieval looks save for the asphalt of the streets and the lighting of the streets.

Another good reason to make a visit to Florence are its gastronomical pleasures: from wine (Tuscany is one of the Italian regions with the best wine tradition, together with Piemonte and Friuli) to the Fiorentina steak, from the strong boar salami to high quality olive oil, and countless other things. So a trip to Florence is sure bound to become a treat for the eye, the soul and the stomach as well.
