What's this trip about?

    Rich in history and overflowing with beauty on every corner, Florence is truly a sight to behold. A stroll through the city reveals remnants of its past as the birthplace of the Renaissance. Tour medieval cathedrals one morning, then stare into the eyes of Michelangelo's David the next. No trip to Tuscany's capital is complete without sampling its finest sips and specialties! You can spend your evenings devouring famous Florentine steaks while sipping on locally-grown and bottled Chianti wine.
