Florence 
From Singapore Hotels & Singapore Lifestyle
|
Florence, located on the River Arno in Tuscany, is surrounded by hills planted with olive trees, cypresses and vineyards. The surrounding countryside is bathed in soft, diaphanous light characteristic of the region.
The political heart of the city since time immemorial, the grand Piazza della Signoria, surrounded by open-air cafés and restaurants, is a favourite meeting place for locals and tourists alike.
Florence is a veritable outdoor sculpture museum, with its numerous statues, including a replica (the original is now housed in the Accademia) of Michelangelo's (1475-1564) famous David.
