Top places to visit

1. Terme di Saturnia

Terme di Saturnia is a collection of hot springs within an ancient village in the enchanting Maremma countryside. Experience the soothing remedial effects of the sulfurous springs when you visit this natural spa. Recline in steaming-hot waterfalls or play in the simmering water terraces. Find out how the Terme di Saturnia was given its name as you explore archaeological ruins and historic sites.

2. Uffizi Gallery

According to the architect and father of art history writing, Giorgio Vasari, the Galleria degli Uffizi was a place where great artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo met "for beauty, for work and for recreation". What the gallery’s visitors now lack in artistic genius, they make up for in sheer number; over one million pass through its doors every year.

3. Ponte Vecchio

Goldsmiths and jewellers moved in to the shops along the ground floor of Florence’s Ponte Vecchio after a decree in 1593 ordered that all butchers be removed due to the unwholesome smell. Over four hundred years later, and they are still there, outnumbered only by the hordes of tourists who flock here every day to marvel at the medieval design and fascinating history of the famous old bridge.

4. Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore

The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, known locally as the Duomo (or "Cathedral"), is the most striking and impressive reminder of the power and wealth of the city-state of Florence during the Middle Ages. Work on this incredible architectural feat, which dominates the Florentine skyline, began in 1294 and the fact that the dome is still the biggest of its kind in the world is testament to the ambition of its architects. While most visitors come to see the building itself, the vast interior of the cathedral is home to frescoes, stained-glass windows and sculptures by Italian masters.

5. Leaning Tower

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is one of Europe’s most famous buildings. It attracts millions of visitors a year from all over the world. The Leaning Tower is the freestanding Romanesque campanile (bell tower) of the cathedral, called the Duomo. The tower and Duomo are in the Piazza dei Miracoli. The history and architecture of the tower are fascinating, however, most people visit the iconic building to observe and photograph its strange sideways lean.

7. Pitti Palace

An art-lover’s dream, some of the city’s most celebrated treasures are on display at the grandiose Palazzo Pitti (Pitti Palace). Constructed in 1458, this palace was originally home to ambitious Florentine banker, Luca Pitti. It was sold to the Medici family in 1549 and was opened as a public museum in 1919. The Palatine contains a broad collection of Renaissance and Baroque paintings. This lavish gallery overflows into the Royal apartments, a suite of 14 rooms formerly used by the Medici family, while the Silver and Carriages museums offer visitors a window into the world of Florence’s most formidable family.
