Car Hire at Florence Airport

Airport travel guide

A citadel of art, literature, and architecture, Florence is one of the loveliest cities in Italy. The birthplace of the Renaissance and the literary Italian language, it boasts a wealth of historic landmarks to enjoy, as well as lots of quality restaurants, green spaces, and things to do. Here are three of the city’s most famous attractions:

• Uffizi. One of the most famous galleries in the world, Uffizi houses the quintessence of Italian Renaissance art. The works of renowned artists like Raphael, da Vinci, Boticelli, Velasquez, and many others are on display here. The gallery also has smaller collections of more recent paintings. Even if you’re not an art lover, Uffizi truly is one of the must-visit places in Florence.
• Florence Cathedral. One of the most photographed buildings in the country, the Florence Cathedral (officially called the Saint Mary the Flower Cathedral) dominates the city’s skyline. Built for 140 years and consecrated in the mid-15th century, the cathedral incorporates Gothic, Renaissance, and Gothic Revival architectural styles. With intricate frescoes, statues, and religious paintings, the church is as impressive from the inside as it is from the outside.
• Boboli Gardens. A historic and beautiful park, Boboli Gardens were originally created by the legendary Medici dynasty. Its 4.5 hectares (or 11 acres) are made up not only of greenery, but also hills, grottoes, nymphaeums, and garden temples. A great place for a long and relaxing day outside, the park is also home to the Pitti Palace and an amphitheatre.
