A Romance of Florence

Source: Internet & Xander

Florence is the capital of the region of Tuscany. It is obviously a very famous and touristy place and was my first time in the city, but I loved it much more than I thought I might. Yes it is touristy, and yes to an extent it is a living museum, but the place oozes class and culture and has a completely unique and individual vibe setting it apart from Venice and Rome.

The city was the birthplace of the Renaissance, and has produced an absolute wealth of cultural heritage in any field imaginable. The architecture is also fantastic, and the Duomo of Florence Cathedral literally took my breath away. But history aside the current inhabitants enjoy an enviable lifestyle, great weather, food and above all wine.
