Florence is easily one of the most culturally stimulating Italian cities, as it’s filled with so much energy and history. Spend your days wandering the narrow cobblestone streets as you take in the breathtaking architecture that has hardly changed since the Renaissance, or visiting one of the city’s historical landmarks like the iconic Leonardo da Vinci Museum, the Ponte Vecchio or the Duomo for a true taste of Florence’s rich history.
