Let's Go to Florence
Divided by the Arno River and one of the 7 cities of the Tuscany region, Florence has always lived independently throughout history. For this reason, it sets itself apart from other Italian cities. As one of the most important cities in Europe in terms of gastronomy, its main sources of income are agriculture and trade. Known as the birthplace of the Renaissance, Florence has hosted numerous artists and scientists such as Michelangelo, Dante, and Machiavelli. It is possible to see breathtaking examples of Renaissance architecture in the city.
The City Where the Renaissance Was Born
You can start exploring Florence from Plaza Della Stazione, one of the most important squares in the city. As you proceed from the square, you will encounter beautiful buildings. You can visit Mercato Centrale, one of these, and visit the Basilica di San Lorenzo church. To see Michelangelo's famous statue of David, you should go to Galleria dell’Academia.
