Florence

Florence may be a Renaissance masterpiece, but its real charm is found in the details. Slip away from the crowds to discover artsy boutiques, intimate wine bars, and tucked-away ateliers where craftsmanship is still an art form. Indulge in the legendary bistecca fiorentina at a local-loved trattoria, then sip Chianti as the city glows under golden Tuscan light.
