Florence
Florence is the city where the Renaissance was born and where it still lives — in the ochre-and-stone streetscapes, the church façades that double as art galleries, and the trattorias where a plate of pappardelle al cinghiale costs less than a museum ticket. Staying in the centro storico puts you steps from the Uffizi; crossing the Arno to Oltrarno reveals the artisan soul.
