Florence Overview

By Travel Expert: Candyce H. Stapen

Florence (Firenze in Italian) delights the eye. A graceful city of red roofs, splendid domes, and bridges crossing the Arno River, Florence is an art lover's Mecca. With money from the Medicis and other rich ducal families, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Botticelli, and others created timeless works whose new perspective spurred the development of a renaissance. The city showcases these masterpieces in its churches and museums. That makes Florence a must-see for teens and adults, but something of a challenge for younger kids for whom one fresco goes a long, long way.
