The City of Lilies

Official achievement authored by JimG008.

Florence is one of the most splendid and beautiful cities in the world. Encounter the spirits of da Vinci, Dante, Boccaccio, Michelangelo and the Medicis, –  In Florence, the days of the Renaissance feel close at hand. As the birthplace of the Renaissance, Florence combines unequaled beauty with centuries of history in a heady mix. Your first glimpse of the Duomo is likely to take your breath away.

Florence is essentially a proud, provincial city, with a conservative mentality yet very liberal politics. The vitality of this small city, the robustness of its cuisine, the enduring beauty of its architecture and the richness of its treasures cannot fail to educate, exhilarate and dazzle those who visit Florence. Visitors often fail to plan enough time for Florence, partly because until you’ve been there, it’s difficult to comprehend how much there is to experience in the city. Any visit, brief or extended, should begin with the magnificent Duomo. Don’t be content with admiring its stunning exterior: Go inside, gaze at the frescoes, and take in the view from the top of the dome.

Afterward, check out the exquisite detail of the famed bronze doors of the adjacent Baptistery. The striking Palazzo Vecchio on Piazza della Signoria still functions as city hall. Take a tour and learn about the palace’s integral role in Florentine history—as well as the reason for its unusual trapezoidal dimensions.
