Florence Luxury Holidays
Florence is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. But it’s not
just its film star looks that make it so popular – Florence is truly
the renaissance city, rich in artistic and intellectual heritage.
From Cimabue and Giotto, the fathers of Italian painting, to
Botticelli and the universal geniuses of Leonardo and Michelangelo,
Florence has inspired generations of influential artists.
Luckily, much of the great works and buildings produced by these
masters have remained in Florence, at museums like the Uffizi, ready for
your grateful appreciation.
Around Piazza del Duomo
The Piazza del Duomo is the queen of Florence’s open spaces. Here, the
cathedral’s splendid vault has recently been restored.
Around the Duomo, densely packed streets and squares pulsate with
Florence’s history and reflect its sophisticated elegance. Close by is
Piazza della Repubblica, the ancient heart of the city.
Café society
In the middle of Piazza Vittorio Emanuele stands the legendary Caffè
delle Giubbe Rosse, the haunt of writers and artists throughout the
20th-century. This charming café continues to attract both Florentines
and visitors alike .
Santa Croce
One of Florence’s most captivating quarters is around Santa Croce,
a majestic Franciscan church surrounded by medieval streets containing
Renaissance palaces, artisans’ workshops and neighbourhood markets.
