Vacationing in Florence Italy
By Johnathan Bakers
Florence Italy is in the Tuscany region about midway
between Milan to the north and Rome to the South.
During the Renaissance, Florence was the center of
art, politics and intellectual thought. The city is the
biggest tourist attraction in the region with plenty to
see and do. The city is small enough to walk to most
places, but offers many attractions to keep you
interested for weeks.
A large airport and train station in town make
travelling within the region or out of the country easy.
With public transportation and most attractions in
easy walking distance, a Florence car rental may not
be necessary.
Everyone in the region speaks Italian, but many
people also speak some English. It�s a good idea to
have some knowledge of Italian when visiting the
area. If you don�t speak Italian, consider purchasing
a phrase book with common phrases in Italian to help
you communicate while staying in the area.
Early Autumn and Spring are the best times to visit
Florence. This is still considered to be tourist season,
but is not too overcrowded. Summer is the busiest
season and you should expect crowds if you choose
to travel at this time. The later Autumn tends to be
chilly and can be rainy. It is still warm enough to visit
and the crowds will have disappeared by this time.
Things to See in Florence Italy
Casa di Dante is the home of the famous author of
The Divine Comedy. The house is a tourist attraction
and is located in the medieval section of the city.

The Baptistry of John the Baptist is an ornate church
that was built in the 11th century

The Church of San Lorenzo is the oldest religious
structure in Florence. It was built prior to the year 400.

The dining in Florence is amazing, with a wide variety
of restaurants throughout the city. You will get the
chance to sample Florence Italy recipes, which use the
freshest ingredients. If you rent villas or apartments in
Florence, you may want to try out a few of these in
your own kitchen with fresh ingredients purchased at
the local market.

The Florence Archaeological Museum is a palace with

of several museums with paintings by several
celebrated Florentine artists. The Boboli Gardens are
manicured Renaissance gardens that you can walk
and enjoy.

numerous art works. The museum offers a beautiful
view of the city in addition to spectacular works of art.

Places to Stay in Florence Italy
