Or marvel at masterpieces including Michelangelo’s David, at the Accademia and Uffizi art galleries. After this feast of culture, tuck into mouth-watering Tuscan cuisine at a charming trattoria or designer eatery. Choose from our flights and Florence hotels for the perfect break.

A Renaissance masterpiece

A Renaissance masterpiece

Florence is one of the world’s top cultural cities, home to infinite Renaissance treasures. Most Florence breaks start with a trip to the Uffizi Gallery, where you can encounter some of the finest works by Renaissance masters such as Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael. You can also view Michelangelo’s iconic Statue of David, among other precious sculptures at the Accademia Gallery nearby.

Architectural grandeur

In the historical Piazza del Duomo, you’ll find the stunning Florence Cathedral, Giotto's Bell Tower and the octagonal-shaped Baptistery. It’s worth ascending the 463 steps to the top of Brunelleschi’s dome to admire the spectacular city skyline from the highest point in central Florence. Around half a mile from the Duomo sits the grand Basilica of Santa Croce, home to 16 ornate chapels.

Tuscan tranquillity Vibrant markets

Vibrant markets

Florence city breaks can involve browsing unique shops and leather markets, but few cross the river to the quieter Piazza Santo Spirito, where you can bargain at street stalls by day, and dine like a local in the evening. Although busier, Mercato Centrale is another special marketplace, with traditional food stands on one floor, and an upper-level food hall brimming with vibrant cafes, restaurants and bars.
