Florence Hotel Reservations 

Florence has a history that is unrivaled in all of Europe. As the center of the renaissance, it stands out as one of Italy's most attractive urban areas. Situated in the heart of Tuscany, Florence is a very popular choice for European travelers. Spreading out over the banks of the River Arno, the smallness of city makes it easy to see on foot.

Everywhere you look, there is impressive architecture and artistic heritage. Florence has had a long history of writers, artists and philosophers making their mark, including Machiavelli, Michaelangelo, Leonardo de Vinci and Dante. In the 15th century the city was ruled by the wealthy Medici family, who were big patrons of the arts. Florence's many museums and galleries are well stocked by the works of Donatello, Botticelli and Michelangelo.

The attitude here is laid back - the la dolce vita is in full effect. If you want to see the city from a distance, go to the Boboli Gardens. It overlooks the city and is a great retreat from the busy city streets.  (Close)
