When you visit, it would be a missed opportunity not to explore at least one of the numerous galleries where you can admire the masterpieces of great Italian painters and sculptors.

By climbing to the observation deck of the cathedral or Giotto's Bell Tower, you can capture Florence from a bird's-eye view.

For fans of Dan Brown's works, don't miss the unique opportunity to take a walk through the places depicted in the novel "Inferno"! These include the Boboli Gardens, Ponte Vecchio, Palazzo Vecchio, and the Baptistery. After the release of the novel, Russian-speaking guides in Florence even started offering interesting author-guided tours based on its themes.

Gourmets should definitely try the famous "bistecca alla fiorentina," which is a huge piece of select beef (ranging from 800 grams to 1.5 kilograms) cooked over charcoal. This dish is served in practically every restaurant in the city.
