Florence

The must-see attractions include the Duomo (Florence Cathedral), Uffizi Gallery, Accademia Gallery (home of David), Ponte Vecchio, Palazzo Pitti, and the Boboli Gardens. Exploring these sites will give you a comprehensive overview of Florence's artistic and historical significance.

The best times to visit Florence are during the shoulder seasons: April-May and September-October. The weather is pleasant, the crowds are smaller than in the peak summer months, and you can enjoy the city's outdoor spaces comfortably.

Be sure to try Florentine steak (bistecca alla fiorentina), handmade pasta dishes like pici, lampredotto sandwiches, ribollita soup, and cantucci biscuits with Vin Santo. Don't forget to pair your meal with a glass of Tuscan wine!
