Art, Architecture, Statues and History - Florence, Italy

The streets of Florence, the capital city of Tuscany, are filled with amazing sculpture and artwork almost everywhere you look. It is home to globally-renowned landmarks such as the Duomo and Michelangelo’s David. It is a feast for the senses.

Florence is extremely walkable, and in foot is the best way to see this amazing compact city’s sights. The impressive statues and architectural masterpieces should be viewed up close as you wander through streets filled with rich history.

This is what caught my eye, I hope you enjoy!

Florence has many beautiful piazzas, but Piazza della Signoria is easily the best one filled with statues.

It was awesome just sitting in one of the outdoor cafes sipping coffee and taking in the atmosphere.
