Florence | Tuscany

A cultural, artistic and architectural gem, Florence is the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance and was home to powerful families, creative geniuses and scientific masterminds. †

Overview
It’s unfair, really; any one neighborhood in Firenze possesses more architectural beauty and cultural capital than many of the world’s cities. And it’s all so accessible; a walk between the ochre dome of the Duomo and the arcaded galleries of the Uffizi, two iconic structures of the entire Renaissance, would barely leave a child winded. When you’ve exhausted yourself of history (impossible, really), revel in the play of light across cobbled streets and the smell of fresh pasta dished out in sidewalk trattoria.
