Experiences

Florence, the capital of Tuscany, counts over 1.5 million inhabitants and is the most popular city of the region. The city can be described as an 'open air museum' with all its splendor and beauty such as museums, monuments, churches and other buildings. In fact, in 1982, UNESCO has declared the historic centre of Florence as a World Heritage Site. Originated as a Roman town, and later, after a period as a flourishing trading and banking medieval city, it became the birthplace of the Renaissance. From the 14th- until the 16th century it was politically, economically and culturally one of the most important cities in Europe.

UNESCO World Heritage

Let the magic of Florence sweep you off your feet. Known as la culla del Rinascimento — the cradle of the Renaissance — this enchanting city invites you to wander through centuries of art, passion, and timeless beauty. At the heart of Florence’s historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rises the breathtaking Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. With its iconic dome by Brunelleschi and a façade of delicate green, pink, and white marble, the Duomo is a masterpiece that stirs the soul. As the sun sets, its silhouette glows against the Tuscan sky — a view that lingers in memory like a love letter. Stroll hand in hand past the Baptistery of San Giovanni and Giotto’s graceful Campanile, where every detail whispers stories of devotion and artistic genius. In Florence, every corner is a canvas, every moment a memory waiting to be made.

Let your stay be as unforgettable as the city itself.
