Flights to Florence

If the art lover in you is drawn to the great works of artists like Leonardo da Vinci, Donatello, Fra Angelico, Botticelli and Michelangelo, the flavour rich city of Florence is the ideal vacation spot for you.

Coddled by the Apennines and the Arno River, this fabulous Tuscan city overflows with romance, history and rich architecture.

It's no surprise that many flock to the Piazza della Signoria to view the many statues that pay homage to some of the historical events that mark the city. The city's town hall, Palazzo Vecchio, also holds great appeal to visitors and residents alike.

The grandest collection of Renaissance artwork can be found in the world's oldest art gallery. The gallery displays many works commissioned by the Medici family, a dynasty headed by Cosimo il Vecchio.Not only did he leave his mark in the gallery, but also in the Palazzo Medici Riccardi and San Marco church.

Though heavily ravaged by bombs of war in 1345, certain structures have stood the test of time and are testimony to a bygone world. Ponte Vecchio, a bridge at one end of the city is one such structure.

Old world unites with that of modern day as you follow the route to workshops that stand of supports over the river. Among the old structures you'll find where blacksmiths and butchers once spent their days.
