Travelling
around Tuscany and its extraordinary landscapes we reach Florence. There are
regular trains between Florence and Pisa and the travel takes a bit more than
one hour.
Florence
is a city of art and a birthplace of some of the most spectacular artistic
treasures in the world. The city center is located very close to the central
train station.
It takes us a couple of minutes to reach some of the most
popular attractions: the Uffizi gallery and Palazzo Vecchio, located right in
the heart of Florence at Piazza della Signoria.
The square has been always the main political center of the Florentine republic.
Palazzo
Vecchio is a spectacular Gothic building with a rich history. It was used as a
former residence of the powerful Medici Family and as a town hall.
In
front of the palace is the marble statue of David. This masterpiece of the Renaissance
art, is a bright example of Michelangelo’s talent.
Close
to Palazzo Vecchio is located Loggia dei Lanzi, an open museum.
