Florence is the capital city of the region of Tuscany and has a population of about half a million inhabitants.


The city nestles within a natural amphitheatre of hills and is surrounded by picturesque landscapes of rolling hills, lush vineyards and farmlands which extend as far as the north-western coast of Italy.


For many the first impression of Florence is an overwhelming one: you seem to step back 600 years into a Renaissance scene whilst simultaneously experiencing a modern, vibrant town.
