        Discover Florence

        With a skyline sculpted by grand cathedrals and palaces, this magnificent city is the place to enjoy art and style. By day, stroll the puzzle of piazzas and designer boutiques, then meander the manicured Boboli Gardens before making a pit-stop at Badiani for the best gelato in town. Art lovers, you’re in for a feast at the world-famous Uffizi. And no visit would be complete without marvelling at Michelangelo’s David. Although try the Gucci Museum if you’re more about modern art. By night, the Duomo’s big brick dome glows brightly and the Ponte Vecchio twinkles with the jewellery shops that line it. Settle in at a riverside restaurant for Florentine steak and a bottle of Chianti to soak it all up.
