Florence City Breaks

Florence city breaks - Medieval streets and Renaissance treasures
Florence weekend breaks will introduce you to a beautiful city famed for its medieval streets, beautiful squares, mighty palaces, stately mansions and astonishing churches. Few Florence city break visitors are left unmoved by the essential sights: the magnificent Duomo cathedral with its amazing museum, the medieval Ponte Vecchio across the River Arno, the extraordinary Giardino di Boboli gardens, countless spectacular churches stuffed with Renaissance art treasures, and Michelangelo’s unforgettable David. Aside from art, Florence city breaks offer lively markets, classy shopping, excellent restaurants and authentic Italian nightlife. However, most Florence short breaks understandably centre on the city’s unparalleled wealth of art.

Florence short breaks - Incredible museums, galleries and churches
While Venice and Rome outdo Florence in terms of beauty and atmosphere, no other Italy city break destination offers such a wealth of astounding art: achingly beautiful religious works, Renaissance masters, and giants like Michelangelo, Raphael and Titian. Art lovers will find Florence weekend breaks almost overwhelming, such is the extraordinary wealth of paintings and sculpture spread throughout the city in dozens of museums, galleries and churches. Florence short breaks are an amazing experience for anyone with even a passing interest in art. World-famous Florence galleries and museums like the Uffizi, the Palatina, the Bargello, the Duomo Museum and the Academia, make Florence city breaks an unforgettable experience.
 
Florence weekend breaks - Great low-season destination
With the vast majority of its attractions inside rather than outside, Florence city breaks are rewarding at any time of year. Summer weekend breaks in Florence are very popular, but we recommend Florence city breaks in spring, autumn and even winter to avoid peak summer humidity and the biggest crowds. Long weekend breaks in Florence will have time for a trip outside Florence to see a little of the famously picturesque Tuscany countryside.
