Centuries of history and art have left this city with a unique heritage. While Florence carefully maintains its Renaissance architecture and culture, it is not trapped in time.

The rich artistic heritage, the numerous cultural events, and the beauty of its surroundings make Florence one of the world's most beautiful cities and a unique centre of attraction for visitors from all over the world.
Walking around the city you will find shops selling fashionable clothes, antiques and jewellery as well as traditional Florentine crafts.
