Why Florence is the Jewel of Tuscany

Italy is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe. This is of course mainly due to the country's wealth of historic and cultural attractions and buildings, which draw visitors from all around the world.

The cities of Rome and Venice are perhaps the most popular of all the destinations. Florence, the largest city in the ever popular Tuscany region also attracts its fair share of tourists.

There is a varied choice of Florence apartments and vacation accommodation available to cater for travellers to this culturally rich city.

It is little wonder that the whole of the centre of Florence has been designated as an UNESCO World Heritage Site. So, whether you are visiting Florence to marvel at the wealth of Renaissance style architecture to be found in the construction of its many buildings and monuments, or to visit the numerous museums and art galleries, there is always suitable accommodation for everyone.

For those wishing to explore beyond the city, the Tuscan landscape is renowned for its natural scenic beauty. It is hardly surprising that this beautiful and dramatic region has been the inspiration for many world famous painters and artists.

Pisa, the home of the world famous leaning tower, is also a short drive from the centre of Florence.
