Though surprisingly small, Florence (Firenze) is laden with cultural attractions and charm. Medieval streets evoke a thousand tales, and museums and churches safeguard the worlds greatest repository of Renaissance art. Nearby destinations including Siena, Pisa, Chianti, San Gimignano and Lucca are similarly alluring, and are easily visited on day trips.
Uffizi Gallery ( )Chock-full of Renaissance masterpieces, this Medici-built palazzo (palace) beside the Arno is home to major works by Giotto, Botticelli, Michelangelo, da Vinci, Raphael, Titian and Caravaggio.
Florence & Tuscany Top Sights
Duomo ( )The polychrome marble facade and tapering campanile (bell tower) of the duomo (cathedral) are wonderful, but what makes this building so extraordinary is Filippo Brunelleschis massive red-brick dome, one of the greatest architectural achievements of all time.
Florence & Tuscany Top Sights
Basilica di Santa Maria Novella ( )Behind the magnificent green-and-white marble facade of this church lie extraordinary paintings, romantic cloisters and four stunning frescoed chapels.

Florence & Tuscany Top Sights
Galleria dellAccademia ( )Home to the worlds most famous statue Michelangelos David the Accademia also holds the same sculptors enigmatic and moving Prigioni (Prisoners or Slaves) and unfinished San Matteo (St Matthew).

Palazzo Vecchio ( )Presiding over the citys most atmospheric piazza is this medieval fortress palace, once home to the Medicis and now a repository of art by Michelangelo, Vasari, Donatello and Bronzino.
