Florence

Hey!

Tuscany, Chianti, art – welcome to Florence! 

I spent there only one day, so unfortunately I hadn’t enough time to see all the monuments and to get to know all the secrets of this city but it was enough to visit the most important places and to discover some interesting facts about Florence. If you don’t remember, it’s the capital of the Tuscany, the most breathtaking region of Italy.

This city is well known all over the world because of many artists and poets that lived there, for example Dante or Leonardo da Vinci. Visiting Florence, you need to see the cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, located in the city centre, the bridge called Ponte Vecchio situated on the Arno river – it’s worth seeing it not only because it’s beautiful and really well conserved but it seems to be composed of many small ‘apartaments’ that in fact are shops! Then you should see the church of Santa Maria Novella,  Palazzo Vecchio and Galeria degli Uffizi, one of the oldest European museum; you can find there the artworks of Carvaggio, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci or Piero della Francesca etc. 

As always, after the whole day of discovering Florence, I recommend you tasting delicious wine and Italian ice-cream!

In my opinion this is one of those cities that surprises you every time you visit it!
