The birthplace of the Renaissance, Florence is possibly the most beautifully preserved and artistically rich city in the world. Many of the places to visit can be reached easily on foot. Begin your adventure in Piazza della Signoria, stop at the Palazzo Vecchio, seat of Florentine government, built between 1298 and 1314. Visit the Galleria degli Uffizi in Palazzo degli Uffizi, which is filled with treasures by great artists such as Giotto and Botticelli, and don’t forget the Galleria dell'Accademia, home to Michelangelo's David!
