Florence
A city to wander, taste and get a little lost in. Florence pairs extraordinary art with everyday pleasures: a perfect espresso, a riverside stroll, a table tucked down a side street.

A taste of what you could discover
Book a timed visit to a gallery and give yourself time to linger. Cross the Arno and explore the workshops and cafés of the Oltrarno. Walk up to Piazzale Michelangelo for an evening view of the city.
Make a little room for planning
Book major museums ahead and check opening days. Central Florence is best explored on foot; comfortable shoes and a slower itinerary make a difference. Historic centres have restricted driving zones.
When to dream about going
Spring and autumn are useful starting points for a city break. Summers can be hot and busy.
