In a beloved local like Florence, you could easily come for a month and remain entranced by this tiny, yet mighty city that continues to radiate echoes from the past, most notably from the Renaissance era. Most people come for a day, maybe three, and often only cover the highlights: Botticelli’s Primavera at The Uffizi Gallery, Michelangelo’s David at the Accademia, sunset at Ponte Santa Trinita and the panorama over Piazzale Michelangelo. However, for the more curious intrepid who is looking for the hidden corners of Florence, be assured that there is more than meets the eye within our Renaissance enclave, and in the gardens that lie in its periphery. I implore you to get out of the confines of the main streets and be unafraid to get a little lost, after all who knows what you might find.
