Summary:
For some people, it´s just too much. I have actually known travelers who have actually advised me to avoid going to Florence altogether. And not for the reasons you might think; the crowds, the cost, the chaos. No, I have been warned not to go to Florence because there is just too much to see there, it overloads you, it is all simply too much.

For some people, it´s just too much. I have actually known travelers who have actually advised me to avoid going to Florence altogether. And not for the reasons you might think; the crowds, the cost, the chaos. No, I have been warned not to go to Florence because there is just too much to see there, it overloads you, it is all simply too much.

I would warn you if I could but I can´t so I won´t.

And why won´t I warn you? Because it would be useless, that´s why. You see, even though Florence is all of those things mentioned above, it is also one of those places that is unavoidable, as well. You can´t travel to Italy and not visit Florence. Well, you certainly shouldn´t admit it to anyone if you have.

Florence is the most important center for Renaissance architecture and art in Italy and therefore, the world. The famous, 700 year old Duomo cathedral and neighboring Baptistery with those famous Brunelleschi doors are as magnificent to behold as the world famous Florentine paintings, sculptures, Medici palaces and gardens are breathtakingly beautiful to gaze at.

Among these amazing sights are included the Basilica of Santa Croce (see the tombs of Michelangelo and Galileo), the Piazza San Lorenzo, the Ponte Vecchio and the Pitti Palace. The museums in Florence are among the most well-known and well-loved in the entire world and include the Gelleria degli Uffizi, the Bargello Museum and the Galleria dell´Accademia (Michelangelo´s David).

Florence is the quintessential city for anyone who wants to know what Renaissance Italy "was all about". And yet, with all of this emphasis upon its grand and glorious past, Florence is also a very modern city, as well. It bustles with exclusive boutiques and lively cafes and mixes its past and present "selves" effortlessly. Its Renaissance past makes an easy transition to a modern love of the more contemporary arts. Theater, dance and cinema are very popular here and performances of practically any kind imaginable are available for visitors and residents all year round.
