Florence has a variety of delightful sights to visit, the most famous of which are usually Renaissance-related. This is the home of some of Michaelangelo’s most well-known works, as well as many by Botticelli, Raphael, and Fra’ Angelico. The Arno river that flows through the city gives it a distinctive character and divides it in two parts. Walking along the river is a great way to see some of the beautiful architecture of Florence. The city is home to a number of beautiful churches, most of which were built in the Renaissance or earlier. The most famous of which is the cathedral Santa Maria del Fiore, known simply as “The Duomo,” and is a favourite spot from which to view the city. The centre of Florence, within the city walls, is closed to traffic, though taxis and some special buses are allowed to drive through. The best way to explore this area, however, is on foot.
