Known as the "birthplace of the Renaissance,"
Florence is one of the best cities in Italy for visiting museums and viewing art. The Uffizi Gallery boasts Botticelli's
The Birth of Venus, da Vinci's Annunciation and so much more. The Duomo, Palazzo Vecchio, Capelle Medicee and the Galleria dell'Accademia di Firenze (where
David stands) are other noteworthy sites.
