Visiting Florence - Must-see Attractions

The Renaissance was the era of Florence's greatest glory.
The city flourished under the Medici dynasty, spawning architecture, art, and movements, marking a renewal of the shared ideal of art. All the great artists of the day came through Florence, worked on major building projects, and gave us the gift of masterpieces that we are lucky to be able to visit to this day.
Visitors to Florence cannot think to skip the Uffizi Gallery and the Accademia Gallery.
The Uffizi Gallery is home to a major portion of the collection that once belonged to the Medici family. The timeline of the hundreds of artworks on display starts from 13th-century with Giotto and goes through Caravaggio. But the Gallery's true heart is the 14th and 15th centuries. Botticelli 's Birth of Venus and Allegory of Spring, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo's only known painting, the Tondo Doni, are among its many masterpieces that now draw thousands of visitors through the doors of the Uffizi Gallery.
The Accademia Gallery is another of Florence's museums that helps give the city its deserved importance. The Gallery holds Michelangelo's original David. The enormous marble sculpture has become a symbol of the Renaissance and of Florence worldwide.
Florence is also the city of Brunelleschi, the invention of perspective, and the self-supporting dome, whose design harbors many secrets to this day. Florence is the city of conspiracies, basilicas, love stories between artists and muses, and extraordinary ideas that changed the world. The city has a human scale, and as you stroll through its streets wonders await you on every corner.
