In the attractive region of Tuscany, Italy, one area shaped the form of travel throughout the country. That is the city of Florence. The once extremely wealthy metropolis was the birthplace of the Renaissance movement in the 14th century and in 1982, was declared a world heritage site. As well as an established trade for city break holidays, it is also a fashion centre for the world. However, what is there to do, while visiting? Many free and paid attractions are available to visitors. Here are our favourites.
Top Five Attractions of Florence, Italy
The Piazza della Signoria is the centre of activity in both daytime and night. A local meeting place, an ideal spot for people watching and the most popular choice for festivals and fairs. The L-shaped Square is also called the Palazzo Vecchio and consists of numerous ancient buildings of which the architectural aspect is interesting. Also worth looking for are numerous old statues of which one is a replica of the famous David statue by Michelangelo. To see the original sculpture, visit the Galleria dell’Accademia.
The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore – Il Duomo receives many visitors daily, who all want to admire the historic landmark because it is one of the largest churches in Italy and its dome, is the largest of its kind in the world. The cathedral is especially busy during Christian festivals.
The Ponte Vecchio Bridge is where every traveller heads to, for a holiday photograph of the city. Believed to have been built during Roman times, it has been reconstructed repeatedly, now housing shops and merchants, particularly jewellers and souvenir sellers.
Uffizi Gallery is notorious for its large collection of artwork including pieces by Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Botticelli, and Raphael. Just three hours is needed to explore it at a leisurely place but book tickets before hand because it does receive many visitors. Its masterpiece collection is from the Renaissance period.

The Santa Maria district is perfect if you are looking for brand name clothing from Italian designers. However, it is the outdoor markets in the San Lorenzo district that prove the most popular. For artsy shopping such as vintage clothing and antiques, head to the Piazza Santo Spirito

Best Italy Car Leasing
I wanted to write to tell you how impressed we are with the car, and particularly the service by Citreon over here. We are currently in a little house on a hill outside Spoleto and woke yesterday to find that one of the headlights was on. I attempted to start the car and had no joy. I had a friend visiting from Rome who had to catch a train so I immediately called the Assistance line. The man I spoke with couldnt have been more helpful and went into action immediately. In the meantime another member of our group realised that i had inadvertently put the auto wand in R and when moved back to P the car started! What joy! The battery was low-ish but all was fine and i was able to find the same gentleman to cancel the call out. There Was also a follow up later in the day to make sure all was okay.
I would have no hesitation in recommending the Citroen lease service to my friends.
Citroen Lease in Italy
Our car lease went extremely well. Thank you for your assistance in arranging it. The car (Citroen Space Tourer) was great, an excellent fit for our family of 6. It was very reliable for our long 3 month trip across Europe. The pick up in Rome and drop off in Paris were both quick and easy, and communication with you and the 2 car rental companies was always prompt and helpful. We would not hesitate to recommend Udrive to others and we would definitely employ your services again. Thank you very much for your help.
Italian Car Leasing
Hi Michael, I found everything so easy dealing with you. You were always prompt with your response to my questions and everything went smoothly when we actually picked up and dropped the car off. I would highly recommend you to others and intend to use you again when I do another trip to Europe.
Italy Car Leasing
We've just returned from our 10 week road trip in Europe.
The car leasing arrangements were seamless. We were met at Rome airport by the leasing representative and within 1/2hr we were on our way. The drop off was just as easy. Thanks for organising this for us, leasing is a great way to go for an extended trip.
