Florence is the cradle of the cradle of the Renaissance and the jewel of Tuscany. Skip the lines for a reserved viewing of Michelangelo's David and the unfinished Captives. Other masterpieces await nearby in the Uffizi Gallery and the Bargello. You can marvel at the Duomo with its massive dome and accompanying Baptistry, then stroll the shops of the Ponte Vecchio, browse handcrafted leather goods, and enjoy the simple perfection of Florentine cuisine.
