If you are searching for a late Winter or early Spring city break holiday, then why not consider visiting Florence?
It is possible to fly into the conveniently situated Florence airport just outside the city or, if you are travelling on a budget, then some of the low cost airlines fly into Pisa airport which is a 75 minute bus or train journey away.
For accommodation, Florence has plenty of choice from top luxurious 5 star hotels to small intimate pensions and simple hostels for backpackers.
Due to its amazing cultural and architectural heritage, Florence is considered to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world with plenty to interest its visitors. The Duomo (the Cathedral) and the tower of the Palazzo Vecchio dominate the Florentine skyline.
Explore the squares and the streets around the city centre, spend time “people watching” whilst seated on the terraces of Florence’s fashionable cafes and sample delicious cooked pizza and pasta dishes in the many restaurants.
Cross the River Arno by strolling along the Ponte Vecchio, taking time to browse in the small shops which line the bridge.
If art, sculpture and paintings are your passion then you are truly spoilt for choice. If you are short of time and only have time for one museum or art gallery, then a visit to the world famous Uffizi Gallery is an absolute “must”.
