About Florence

Florence, de wieg van de Renaissance, bundelt meesterwerken van kunst en architectuur in een compacte stad van stenen straten langs de Arno.

De Duomo, met Brunelleschi's enorme rode koepel, Giotto's klokkentoren en de vergulde deuren van het Baptisterium, markeert het centrum van de stad. Een paar straten verder kijken de Piazza della Signoria en het Palazzo Vecchio uit op een loggia vol beelden, en in de Uffizi hangen Botticelli, Leonardo en Rafaël. Michelangelo's David staat in de Galleria dell'Accademia.

Top-ranked sights in Florence: Piazza della Signoria, Uffizi Galleries (Gallerie degli Uffizi), Florence Duomo (Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore).
