Florence Travel Guide
Italy
Florence is a city of 709,064 people in central Italy and the capital of Tuscany. It is known for its historic architecture, museums and links to the Renaissance, making it a major cultural destination in the country.
Most international visitors arrive through Florence Airport, Peretola, which serves the city directly. Florence is inland, and there are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres, so it is better suited to a city break than a beach holiday.
