One of the most famous of Italy’s getaways, Florence is the perfect retreat for all different interests and ideally suited for a romantic weekend for two. There are a wide range of terrific sights throughout the city, which is often regarded as the ‘cradle of the Renaissance’. It is a superb home to many of the most important historical and artistic objects in Italy’s rich heritage, including Michaelangelo’s David. Some of the celebrations which are particularly notable occur on the 24th of June which is Patron’s day – one of the times when the city comes alive and is at its most exciting.

Florence is serviced by its own airport, and you will find driving particularly easy here with the well organized traffic system. Florence is only three hours by Milan, which makes it ideal for travelling to by car. A fashion centre, Florence also welcomes trendsetters from across the globe ready to absorb the year-round inspiration the city provides for.
