Florence is a cultural and historic city, nestled in the charming verdant hills of Tuscany, Italy. With its intimate and relatively small size for a city, Florence shares a romantic aura, with its cobbled streets, quaint balconies and shuttered windows. As you roam the city you will come across some remarkable sights, from the many museums and galleries to the elevated passages of Vasari Corridor and the delightfully Mediterranean Giardino di Boboli.
There are hidden treasures to be found here, from the fine dining riverside restaurants by Arno River and the dreamy rooftop bars, to the yesteryear ambiance of Piazza della Passera.
South of Arno River,you’ll be taken back in time as you absorb the secluded roads with a stroll up Bellosguardo Hill. The views over Florence with its terracotta roofs and light streaming through the trees at sunset is magical.
During your holiday in Florence, stay at the Helvetia & Bristol, a magnificent 19th century palazzo located in the heart of the city’s historical centre.
