The birthplace of the Renaissance, Florence is like a living museum. At every step, you’ll discover historical sights and buildings with awe-inspiring art and architecture, but these are among the top attractions in the Italian city. The Duomo or the Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore is the symbol of the city, and dates back to the 13th century. Nearby, the Medici chapels house Michelangelo’s artistic masterpieces, while the Palazzo Vecchio or city hall and the Piazza della Signoria were the centres of Florentine politics. Walk across the medieval bridge of Ponte Vecchio for breathtaking views across the Arno River, or trek up to the Piazzale Michelangelo for panoramic vistas of the city.
