Destination Florence, an Open-air Museum
With its 74 museums, 43 art galleries and 139 libraries, today, Florence is one of the major cultural hubs in the world.
Florence is a place to visit at least once in a lifetime.


Listing the immense artistic heritage of Florence may seem pointless.
The historic center, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is an open-air gallery, which at every step tells the story of European culture.
Entering the museums of Florence means immersing yourself in the cultural imagination that has contributed to the formation of Western civilization, laying the foundations of the aesthetic, educational, scientific, political and artistic canons on which it is based.
Known as the capital of the Italian Renaissance, it has countless sculptures, squares, civil and religious buildings, palaces, markets, and museums that make it a unique destination.
World-famous for its perfect preservation, Florence looks as it did in the 15th century.
However, thanks to the modernisation projects commissioned by the city council, Florence is a perfect mix of modernity and classicism.
Florence’s museums, palaces, and churches are among the world’s greatest artistic treasures.
The most popular and important sites in Florence include the Duomo, the Baptistery, the Uffizi, the Bargello, Palazzo Pitti, Ponte Vecchio, the Boboli Garden, and the Accademia.
The churches of Santa Maria Novella and Santa Croce are true art galleries, while the library of San Lorenzo is a magnificent display of Michelangelo’s architectural genius.
