Firenze or Florence is one of the most beautiful touristic Italian cities, located in the heart of Toscana (a region in Italy) and has some of Italy's best museums and interesting streets, squares, elegant buildings, and art galleries, such as the Uffizi gallery and the Pitti palace.
Florence is known for its history and importance in the medieval ages and the renaissance as well , especially for its art , architecture , and more generally for its cultural heritage.
Il Ponte Vecchio (The old bridge), built in 1345, was Florence's first bridge across the "Arno" River and is the only surviving bridge from Florence's medieval days (others were destroyed in World War II). The Ponte Vecchio is lined with shops selling gold and silver jewelry. From the bridge you'll have a great view along the Arno River and beyond.
The Campanile bell tower is in Piazza del Duomo. Buy a ticket and climb the 414 stairs (no lift) for great views of the Cathedral, Florence city, andthe surroundings. Construction of the Campanile began in 1334 under the direction of Giotto di Bondone. The Campanile is often called Giotto's Bell Tower.
Florence is a real beauty with great history...
Firenze , a city you should visit at least once in your Life =)
