What to see in Florence

Florence is a Renaissance city where every street breathes history and art. The homeland of the Medici and the workshop of great artists, it is famous for its compact, but saturated atmosphere: narrow cobbled streets, the majestic dome of the Duomo and the leisurely run of Arno create a unique flavor. Here, the past coexists with modernity, and a walk in the old center turns into a small trip through time.

Manufactures and facilities

Man-made sights of Florence amaze with diversity and grandeur: the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore with the dome of Brunelleschi, the baptistery with the “Gates of Paradise”, the Uffizi Gallery with masterpieces of world art, the Piazza della Signoria with the Neptune fountain and statues of the Loggia Lanzi. On the streets there are Ponte Vecchio, Palazzo Pitti, Palazzo Medici-Riccardi, numerous churches - Santa Croce and Santa Maria Novella, as well as the lively markets of Mercato Nuovo and San Lorenzo, where you can feel real Florentine life.

Natural attractions and places

The natural corners and light greenery of the city add tranquility to the urban rhythm: the Boboli Gardens and the Bardini Garden impress with park architecture and views of the city, the Florentine Rose Garden gives aroma and privacy, and the embankments of the Arno River and observation platforms reveal panoramas of the domes and bridges. In the vicinity, it is easy to get to the Chianti Valley, where vineyards and picturesque hills are waiting, combining the culture and nature of the Tuscany region.
