Florence is situated in the north west of the Italy, cradled in the arms of its Renaissance masterpieces and surrounded by the wine-growing hills of Chianti. Autumn is the best time to visit, as the tourist season has wound down and the balmy evenings wash the streets in a soft light.
Italy, according to UNESCO, has 60% of the world's most important art works, half of these are located in Florence. This makes Florence, I think you’ll agree, a city for art lovers.
