Why you'll love it
Florence is the capital of Tuscany and the birthplace of the Renaissance, packed into a compact, walkable centre. It gets Triptakeo's top score for food, culture and romance, so it's a favourite for couples and art lovers, and an easy base for exploring Tuscany.
The best time to visit Florence is April to June or September, with mild weather and green Tuscan hills. Summer is hot and the main sights are at their busiest.
Book the Uffizi Gallery, Michelangelo's David at the Accademia and the climb up Brunelleschi's dome well ahead, as timed slots sell out. Walk across the Ponte Vecchio, and watch the sunset from Piazzale Michelangelo. Across the river, the Oltrarno has artisan workshops and quieter trattorias. Day trips run to Chianti wine country and Siena.
Florence suits couples, art lovers and food lovers.
