This iconic gallery is a treasure trove of Renaissance art, offering an unparalleled glimpse into the genius of legendary artists like Michelangelo. Home to the world's largest collection of Michelangelo's sculptures, including the breathtaking David, the gallery captivates visitors with its exquisite collection of paintings, sculptures, and musical instruments.

Tourist attraction
Ponte Vecchio
The Ponte Vecchio is one of the most famous bridges in Florence, and when you visit, you'll walk across this iconic bridge full of history, medieval buildings, and sparkling jewelry shops. The bridge consists of three arches and was built in 1345 by Taddeo Gaddi, replacing older versions from Roman times. Long ago, butcher shops lined the bridge, but the Medici family replaced all the shops with wooden shutters, goldsmiths, and jewelers to clean up the area.
As you explore, look up to see the Vasari Corridor, a secret walkway the Medici used to move between Palazzo Vecchio and Palazzo Pitti. In World War II, it was the only bridge the Nazis didn’t destroy. In the middle, you’ll find a statue of Benvenuto Cellini, where you can leave a love lock like many tourists do—another reason to experience the charm of the Ponte Vecchio for yourself.
Visit Ponte Vecchio to walk through history, enjoy the views, and create your special moment in Florence!
Religious Site
Basilica of Santa Croce
Step into the heart of Florence and discover the awe-inspiring Basilica of Santa Croce, a magnificent testament to art, faith, and history. Nestled in the vibrant city of Florence, Italy, this monumental complex is a masterpiece of Gothic and Renaissance architecture, known as the 'Temple of the Italian Glories.' It serves not only as a place of worship but also as a monumental tribute to Italy's most illustrious figures. Spanning over 12,000 square meters, Santa Croce is a treasure trove of art, culture, and history, offering a captivating journey through centuries of Florentine and Renaissance heritage. With its stunning frescoes and the final resting places of legends like Michelangelo and Galileo, Santa Croce offers an unforgettable journey through art and history. This unique hub where spirituality, beauty, and memory intertwine is a must-visit destination for travelers seeking to immerse themselves in the soul of Italy.
Piazza San Marco
Piazza San Marco, or St. Mark’s Square, is the main public square in Venice, Italy, and one of the most famous in the world. When you visit, you’ll see landmarks like St. Mark’s Basilica, the Doge’s Palace, the Bell Tower, and the Clock Tower. Napoleon called it “the drawing room of Europe,” and as you walk through the square, you’ll feel the rich history of the Venetian Republic all around you.
You can explore museums, admire golden mosaics, spot the winged lion, and enjoy the open space where people gather. During acqua alta (high tides), the San Marco square often floods, but raised walkways help you get around. Don’t miss the Piazzetta di San Marco, which leads to the Grand Canal and two tall granite columns that mark an important piece of Venetian history.

The hotel is generally good, with excellent cleanliness. It was comfortable enough for a three-night stay. The room has a kettle and water glasses. The bathroom amenities are similar to those found in typical European hotels, with the same bottle used for shampoo and body wash. The most commendable thing is the showerhead's super strong water pressure, which is very effective, and the hot water doesn't require any waiting! The hotel is a convenient 5-10 minute walk from the central station. Be careful when going in and out of the station area at night. You need a key card to enter and exit the hotel at night, so the security is also okay!

This isn't your typical European accommodation, but a hotel with a very hip vibe. At first, I thought the location was ambiguous, but you can take the tram from Florence Station to right in front of the hotel, and especially, bus number 12 goes directly to Piazzale Michelangelo! As for the Duomo or Ponte Vecchio, you can cover Florence's tourist attractions on foot anyway. Other than that, the facilities and services were all excellent! In particular, the rooftop view offers a view that makes the price worthwhile. I recommend it to young couples or honeymooners.

I had a very pleasant stay thanks to Julia-R, a female employee who was consistently helpful and smiling. The free parking at the hotel was also great, and the room condition was good, as was the breakfast.

The tour guide was super humorous and funny, and the driver was also very nice, constantly mentioning that there was WiFi available on the bus. When we got off the bus, he even said "Merry Christmas" and said goodbye to everyone, providing a lot of emotional value. There was plenty of free time, and the time management was just right~

If you are interested in winetasting and want to spend some time away from the city, this half day tour might be a good option. Our guide, Marco was prompt and kept everyone on schedule.

I’m so glad I booked this tour — it ended up being one of the most memorable nights we had in Italy! Our guide, Erica, was super knowledgeable, not just about the food but also about the city’s history. There was never a dull moment with her, and she even shared her personal recommendations for places to check out after the tour. Every dish and glass of wine we had was amazing. Big thanks to Erica for making our night in Florence so special!
