The city itself is a beautiful artwork all on its own. Walking the streets is a fulfilling endeavor that will show you the city, and let you discover the hidden secrets that lurk around every corner. Those who want to witness some of the greatest masterpieces, however, should make a visit to the Uffizi. Not only is this one of the largest and most famous museums in the world, it is also one of the oldest. The Uffizi collection began when the last heir of the Medici family donated her family’s art collections to the city of Florence. Since then, it has grown, and now sees over two million visitors each year.Florence river

  1. Food

Italian food is notoriously delicious. Not only does the food in Florence hit the spot, every restaurant has beautiful views surrounding it. Stay away from the hot tourist locations, like around the cathedral or the Uffizi. These restaurants will typically come with inflated prices for substandard food. If you can, ask a local or check online reviews for the cost and standard of the food you’ll be eating.

Florence follows the ancient law that no building shall be taller than the church. The Cattedrale di Maria del Fiore is the tallest building in Florence, which means that the trip up to the top of the tower or around the dome is worth it for the incredible views.Tuscany
