Florence is part of the Tuscan region of Italy, an area with warm weather and a lot of history. Visitors to Florence can beat some of the summer heat with a cold and refreshing gelato or by stepping into one of Florence’s many museums, including the

Accademia Galleria, which houses Michelangelo's David sculpture. Shopping on the Ponte Vecchio bridge, trekking up to the Piazza Michelangelo for gorgeous views of the city and the river, or wandering the stunning rose gardens and parks along the medieval city walls are all wonderful ways to spend a day.

For a quick day trip, visitors can take a bus up to Fiesole, a nearby town in the Tuscan hills that is home to a Roman amphitheater, an historic monastery, farmers’ markets, and some truly stunning views.
