Florence

Florence, the capital of Tuscany, is a guaranteed experience. On the Arno River in Italy, you'll find the historic city that served as Italy's capital in the 1800s. Risskov has many cheap hotel stays in Tuscany, from where you can easily go on a city break and enjoy all Florence has to offer.

A visit to Florence offers many great experiences. One of the most important sights is the beautiful Renaissance building Palazzo Medici-Riccardi and the Medici family church San Lorenzo, where the Danish Niels Steensen is buried. The church is picturesquely situated by the old leather market. But also the impressive three-coloured cathedral complex with the campanile, the octagonal baptistery with the bronze doors and of course the cathedral itself with Brunelleschi's breathtaking and dizzyingly large dome are worth a visit. These are just a few of the many impressive buildings Florence has to offer.

The Cathedral of Florence is the largest brick cathedral in the world and is visible from many miles away, giving it a prominent place in the cityscape. You can climb to the top of the church and enjoy stunning views over the city's rooftops. The exterior of the church is dominated by marble in three colours, and is an overall stunning sight.

Florence is a perfect holiday destination, whether you want to go on a city break, discover the magnificent Tuscan countryside and go on an active holiday or simply relax on a real wellness holiday.
