Florence Holidays

One of the most famous art museums in the world, the Uffizi Gallery houses masterpieces by renowned artists such as Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, and Michelangelo. The museum's collection offers an unparalleled glimpse into Italy's rich artistic heritage and the history of the Renaissance. Don’t miss iconic works like The Birth of Venus and The Annunciation. The museum itself is a work of art, with its stunning architecture and panoramic views of the Arno River from the gallery windows.

Florence's Duomo, the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, is a true architectural masterpiece. The cathedral’s iconic, red-tiled dome, designed by Brunelleschi, dominates Florence’s skyline- so we guarantee you won't miss it! To truly appreciate its scale and beautiful design, climb the 463 steps to the top of the dome or nearby tower for breathtaking views of Florence and the surrounding Tuscan hills. If you want to explore more, the interior of the cathedral is equally impressive, with beautiful frescoes, stained-glass windows, and a striking bell tower nearby.

The Ponte Vecchio is Florence's most famous bridge, known for its charming shops that line the sides, offering everything from jewellery to art. Dating back to the 14th century, this pedestrian bridge crosses the Arno River and has long been a symbol of Florence’s medieval past. For the best views, visit during sunrise or sunset, when the golden light casts a magical glow over the river and the city.

In Florence, food is a celebration of Tuscany’s rich flavours and traditions. Savour hearty dishes like bistecca alla Fiorentina, a succulent T-bone steak grilled to perfection, or indulge in a bowl of rich ribollita, the famous Tuscan vegetable soup. Pair each meal with a glass of world-class Chianti wine, grown in the surrounding hills, or enjoy a refreshing vin santo with cantucci for dessert. If you’re looking for a different way to enjoy your wine, be sure to check out the city’s famed wine windows. From charming trattorias to lively markets like San Lorenzo, every bite and sip in Florence is a feast for the senses—an authentic taste of Italy’s culinary soul.
