The entire country of Italy is known for its incredible culture. That is why you need to get out of your comfortable hotel or apartment and check out the sites while visiting Florence. It can be rather tempting to stay in and enjoy the wonderful accommodations, but there is so much to Florence that you won’t know what to do with yourself.
You will find palaces, castles, cathedrals, museums, and so much more when you are walking around Florence. There is no need for a car when everything you need to see is close to one another. Take off on foot, get some exercise, and see some great things. You can go back to your hotel or apartment and rest a while before going and seeing even more of the city.
But something you will find about the many attractions in Florence…they are very, very old. This means you are literally looking at the past. And some of the structures are still under construction in a way. You’ll find that there are buildings that have been in the construction process for almost 1,000 years or more.
And make sure you stay more than just a weekend or a few days. Although everything is within walking distance, there is plenty of food and shops for you to check out. You will get to see artwork by Michelangelo, such as his famous “David.”
And you can even go outside the city into the rest of the Tuscan region so that you can experience even more of Italy. For instance, you can go on a wine tour in Chianti. You can even head over to Pisa and see the Leaning Tower of Pisa. You can then head over to Siena and see some great sights there as well. And don’t forget that you can have a panoramic view of Florence right outside the city in a beautiful park. That is always worth taking your camera for a gander.
