What is it about Florence that gets pulses racing? Is it the feeling of sheer enchantment when you first see the mighty Duomo dominating the skyline, or perhaps knowing that you are surrounded by Renaissance artworks of the great masters? The clout of the Medici family is everywhere in the city’s features, extending from art to architecture to culture.

It is this distant, celebrated past that has made modern-day Florence the thriving tourist centre that it is. With the opportunity to wine and dine in true Florentine style, visit historically colossal sights, gaze at artistic perfection and watch the sun set over the Arno, Florence is simply unrivalled.
