One of the most impressive architectural sights of the city is the Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore. This gothic style church is famous for its massive red dome and counts as one of the highest churches in Europe with a height of 376 feet. The city’s main attraction is the Uffizi Gallery, which exhibits masterpieces from the Renaissance era. The exhibition features the works of genius artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt, Titian, Michelangelo and Raphael and is visited by approximately 2 million art buffs from around the globe every year.

The picturesque historic city comprises many squares such as the Piazza Della Signoria, located right in front of the Palazzo Vecchio, or the Piazzale Michelangelo, which offers a breathtaking view over Florence. As the city has been home to the highly influential Tuscan dynasty, the Medici, several buildings and museums will refer to them and their impact on Florence. Apart from the architectural treats and dozens of museums, modern day Florence has plenty to offer ranging from chic boutiques, to cozy cafes throughout the city and, of course, delicious, Italian food.
