Florence travel guide

The Florence Travel Guide from The Great Hotels Organisation is free for all Florence travellers.
Florence is the capital city of the region of Tuscany famed for its delicious food and gently rolling hills studded with olive groves. Tourists in Florence come to appreciate its exceptional artistic heritage, home to the forefathers of the renaissance including Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. It houses many of the greatest and most iconic works of art and sculpture in the world. Florence is fairly small and compact, and with its narrow maze of mediaeval streets and charming piazzas is best explored on foot.
