Florence: A Guidebook with a Mini Phrasebook and Flip Map
9.99 €
Florentia—"Flourishing City"—was the name Caesar's veterans gave to their settlement on the Arno River, as if anticipating the great future of this unique place. Center of the Florentine Republic, capital of the Medici Dukes and the Kingdom of Italy... Today, Florence is the capital of the Tuscany region and one of Italy's main tourist destinations.
Remarkably, the city's historic center has remained virtually intact since the Renaissance (15th-16th centuries), which is why it is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Magnificent palaces, unique museum exhibitions, and architectural monuments invariably delight tourists of all ages.
The Florence guidebook will help you create the perfect travel itinerary: follow the path to the Palazzo Vecchio, take a historical journey through the historic center from the Middle Ages to the world of fashion, immerse yourself in the world of the Medici and Michelangelo, and stop by the city market along the way.
Admire the magnificent bronze doors of the Baptistery, designed by Lorenzo Ghiberti, and the famous mosaic panels, stroll through the Piazza della Signoria, home to the Palazzo Vecchio… Be sure to stop by the Basilica of Santa Croce and visit the Uffizi Gallery.
If your visit to the city is short, take advantage of the extra routes, allowing you to see as many sights as possible in a short time.
For those who have already visited Florence, now is the time to discover its hidden treasures—the beautiful frescoes in its churches and unique museums away from the tourist crowds. Visit the Church of All Saints with its stunning frescoes by Botticelli and Ghirlandaio, the former refectory of the Church of All Saints with its stunning fresco "The Last Supper," also by Ghirlandaio, and much more, all offered by the 11th itinerary, "An Unconventional View of Florence."
In addition to convenient maps and twelve proven itineraries with brief descriptions of attractions, the guide also includes practical information—helpful links, addresses, museum opening hours, and public transportation routes—as well as transportation options to popular attractions and resorts (including those located on the islands).
The Florence guide also includes sections to help you prepare for your trip and navigate the city's diverse offerings: a brief history of the city, information on transportation, a calendar of upcoming events and holidays, and information on hotels and restaurants.
Enjoy your trip!
