The magnificent masterpieces and the rich cultural heritage are two important factors that draw tourists from far and wide to Florence. If you want to get away from it all, or take a weekend break, this is the place to visit. Although the city is pretty minuscule, it is an art lover’s treasure trove.

You will find exquisite creations like Michelangelo’s ‘David’, Giotto’s ‘Life of St. Francis’, Leonardo da Vinci’s ‘Annunciation’. There are many other masterpieces that you can get to see. Places like the Piazza de Duomo and the Pizza della Signoria have statues belonging to the Renaissance time and are a delight to watch. Florence is a city teeming with industries, art, science, craft & culture.

505 steps leading to the Torre del Mangia will give you a fantastic panoramic view of major part of the city. Volterra is a quaint small town with meandering lanes and buzzing streets. Florence has umpteen numbers of churches and museums to visit. You can visit the areas around San Lorenzo, Piazza Della Signoria Piazza Della Signoria (Florence Showpiece Piazza), Santa Croce (the riches neighbourhood to explore).

All you need to do is book a ticket for a luxury holiday to Florence and let the city weave its magic on you.
