Florence

The Arno defines the setting of Florence — its bridges and embankments organize a compact historic centre where daily life unfolds between the hills of Tuscany. Once a leading centre of the Renaissance, Florence retains an exceptional concentration of civic, religious and artistic landmarks. Brunelleschi’s vast dome crowns the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, while the Uffizi Galleries hold works central to the history of Italian art. Across the river, the Oltrarno is associated with artisan workshops and the Pitti Palace. The shop-lined Ponte Vecchio remains the city’s best-known crossing.
