Synopsis:

"Travellers Florence and Tuscany" provides in depth coverage of the Birthplace of the Renaissance. Florence is one of the world's most exciting and exuberant cities with architectural treasures around virtually every corner. It is also blessed with the breathtaking scenery of the surrounding Tuscan countryside. The Florence and Tuscany highlights include: Uffizi Gallery, home to the Medici art collection and containing works by Botticelli, Da Vinci and Raphael. Michelangelo's 'David' is a star attraction, now housed in the Galleria dell' Accademia; dominating the city's skyline is the Duomo - climb the Campanile for amazing views of the city; 14th-century Ponte Vecchio, remarkably the only bridge to escape bomb damage in World War II; Tuscan attractions include the fine cities of Siena, Pisa, Lucca and the beautiful scenery; and excellent Tuscan food. These popular, compact and colourful guidebooks are perfect for planning your holiday whether for a city break, regional tour or a long-haul destination.

This extensive series is packed full of information about where to go and what to see, as well as walks and tours, feature spreads on cultural background and other aspects, restaurant and accommodation listings and practical information.
