Florence at a glance
Florence is the capital of Tuscany, on the Arno River, and the city where the Italian Renaissance took shape under the Medici. Its historic center has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1982. People come for the cathedral and its dome, the Uffizi, Michelangelo's David and Tuscan food and wine.
Known for
Florence Cathedral (Duomo) Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore
Begun in 1296 and finished by 1436 with Brunelleschi's dome, faced in green, pink and white marble.
Uffizi Gallery Galleria degli Uffizi
Museum beside Piazza della Signoria holding the Medici collections, one of the world's great collections of Italian Renaissance art.
Ponte Vecchio
Medieval stone bridge over the Arno lined with jewelers' shops, the only Florence bridge spared in World War II.
Oltrarno
The quarter south of the river, home to Santo Spirito, Palazzo Pitti and the view from Piazzale Michelangelo.
Bistecca alla fiorentina
Thick T-bone steak of young beef grilled on the bone and served rare, the best-known dish of Tuscan cooking.
Getting there
Florence Airport (Peretola) is about 5 km west of the center. Tram line T2 runs from the airport to Santa Maria Novella station in about 22 minutes, where it meets line T1. An Autolinee Toscane bus also runs to the station every half hour, and taxis are available. From Pisa Airport, the Pisa Mover shuttle runs to Pisa Centrale station for trains onward.
Getting around
The historic center is compact and best on foot. Two tram lines and city buses serve the rest, and the center is closed to through traffic except buses, taxis and permit holders.
When to go
Summers are hot, since the city lacks the coastal breeze. Thunderstorms are most common from May to October. Winters are cool and damp, and snow is rare.
Local tip
Do not drive a rental car into the center. It is a limited traffic zone (ZTL) for permit holders, buses and taxis.
