Explore Florence: A world of Renaissance wonders
Florence epitomizes the creativity and beauty of the Renaissance, an entrancing, beguiling city famed for its gravity-defying Duomo and world-famous artworks. Roam the delightful historic center, then use your rental car to discover the other Renaissance delights of scenic Tuscany. We’ve highlighted some of the region’s most romantic corners.
Florence
See why this city has inspired generations of artists. The Uffizi Galleries are jam-packed with masterpieces, while the Academy of Florence features one of the most famous sculptures in the world, Michelangelo’s David. For the best panoramas of the town center, climb the hill over the river to Piazzale Michelangelo to take in the stunning cityscape.
Siena
Once you’ve crossed over the old city walls of Siena, you leave modernity behind and step into a world of cobbled streets, giant medieval squares and a cathedral to rival its grand northern neighbor. Come here on Palio Day in July or August each year to watch horses charge around Piazza del Campo in a historic, dramatic race.
Pisa
Florence’s coastal neighbor has so much more to offer than just its iconic leaning tower. The architecture here is, without exception, stunning. Go for a leisurely stroll along the Arno River to enjoy the colorful façades of the houses, or step inside the beautiful Baptistery to hear sounds reverberate around its domed interior.
