Top luxury attractions and activities in Florence
Artistic treasures grace every corner of Florence, and this historic centre is a delight to explore on foot. Make the iconic Uffizi Gallery your first port of call – one of the world's most visited museums, it houses breathtaking works, including the 14th-century masterpiece Madonna Ognissanti by Giotto and the 15th-century classic painting The Birth of Venus by Botticelli.
Next, ascend Brunelleschi’s dome in Florence Cathedral, a spectacular architectural example of Renaissance history. Adorned with inner frescoes depicting The Last Judgement, this engineering marvel stands as the largest masonry dome ever constructed. Climbing to the top of the dome is an essential experience, and if you have energy to spare, Giotto’s Bell Tower offers an alternative perspective. Reserve another day for an encounter with David, Michelangelo's 17-foot marble masterpiece, carved from a single block. David resides in the Galleria dell’Accademia, alongside a multitude of historic artworks that warrant several hours of leisurely appreciation. (It’s worth noting that most museums in Florence are closed on Mondays.)
After immersing yourself in world-class art, wander Florence’s enchanting streets and uncover its other cultural highlights. Journey to Piazzale Michelangelo for sweeping panoramic views across the entire city and stroll through the Boboli Gardens to admire incredible sculptures.
Indulge in luxury fashion within Florence’s legendary shopping quarter – a city that birthed iconic brands such as Gucci, Cavalli, Ferragamo and Pucci. Here, grand names stand with sophisticated flair alongside innovative concept stores and historic leather artisans. Head to the historic 14th-century Via de' Tornabuoni for every Italian designer flagship boutique imaginable. Then step into Palazzo Antinori, one of Florence’s most exquisite Renaissance palaces, and also a great place to sample superb wines from the surrounding Tuscan hills.
