Florence transports you back to the coruscating artistic brilliance of medieval Italy that
engendered the Renaissance. Its ethereal art delights as much as the sunset over the
Arno or the Florentine food and wine. The russet rooftops and soaring domes only
heighten the enchantment. While the earthy and open hearted people add the
human touch to this city of industry and craft, commerce and culture, art and science.
Ideally, travel to Florence during April -June or September/October is ideal. Florence
can be reached easily from all major European cities. Once there, board a bus - most
of the medieval pleasures are clustered together - and you will reach the greatest
Renaissance wonderland of monuments and churches in Italy.
Duomo
The Duomo stands out even
amongst artistic Florentine skyline.
Yet, Brunelleschi's sloping, redtiled dome is just a precursor to
the countless artistic wonders
inside. Prepare to be astonished
by the neat liveliness that
transfuses through its pink, white
and green marble faade. The
dome itself, though in a state of
disrepair, is an amazing
achievement of design. It tops
the world's fourth-largest
cathedral that took almost 150 years to complete.
