Things to Do in Florence: Local Guide
The cradle of the Renaissance, Florence contains more great art per square kilometre than almost anywhere on earth. Michelangelo's David, Botticelli's Birth of Venus, and Brunelleschi's Duomo dome are each extraordinary — even in peak-season crowds, they consistently exceed expectations.
