Florence, in the heart of Tuscany
Surrounded by hills and vineyards, Florence is sure to amaze. Known as the cultural cradle of the Renaissance, this timeless city is a gem of art, history, and culture. Palaces, artistic masterpieces, and a romantic atmosphere await you, embodying what we like to call Italian “elegance.”
These three places to visit at least once in Florence
An unmissable destination, featuring monuments whose structures are reminiscent of those in Milan.
Although it is nice to enjoy the atmosphere of Tuscany, its sun, and its restaurants, we sincerely believe that a few detours are essential.

The Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral
Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and located in the heart of Piazza Duomo, Florence’s Duomo towers over the city and is an absolutely impressive cathedral. It owes its nickname, Duomo, to Filippo Brunelleschi, the architect responsible for its immense dome.
Enjoy a spectacular view from the cathedral’s heights—if you have the courage to climb its more than 400 steps.
The Uffizi Gallery
A cultural and architectural complex, these offices are a true museum. Venture into the Vasari Corridor, the Pitti Palace, or the Boboli Gardens and discover the numerous works spread over more than 12,000 m², making these galleries one of the largest museums in the world.
Attention, with over 4 million visitors per year, be sure to book in advance!
Piazza della Signoria
An open-air marvel, the political and historical center of Florence, it is the most important tourist square in Florence. A place of festivals and celebrations, it is filled with structures, sculptures, and historical works such as the Fountain of Neptune and the statues of Hercules.
Every step you take in this square holds a piece of Florence’s past.
