City
Tuscany is a "must see" region in Italy and Florence, the capital of the Tuscan region is a "must see" city in Tuscany. Once the hub of the Renaissance, Florence is still a city marked by outstanding cultural and artistic splendor. In the modern day this translates into some of the best shopping anywhere for fine products from leather to gold. A perennial favorite of tourists and home to such historical figures as Machiavelli and the Medici clan, all of the finest aspects of Renaissance culture, from literature and art to theater and music still flourish here. Besides tourism, food and wine production are also prominent industries in this city, which is the main city of the Tuscany wine-producing region. The Uffizi Gallery and Accademia Museum house two of the world’s great art collections and seeing the David by Michealangelo, at the Accademia is a moment never to be forgotten. The Duomo in Florence is as breathtaking as it is massive. This amazing structure can be seen from many vantage points near the city center and it looms in its majesty above the city’s interesting architecture and unique streets. Major attractions: Uffizi museum, Accademia museum with the David, Piazza della Signoria, Duomo di Santa Maria del Fiore, Santa Croce and Santa Maria Novella churches and squares. Other museums of notice are Palazzo Vecchio, Palazzo Pitti with the Silver museum, the Boboli Gardens and the Palatine Gallery, the Brancacci Chapel, the Museum San Marco. Major theaters and events: Teatro Comunale, Teatro della Pergola, Toscana Opera Festival, Teatro Verdi.
This sublime, interesting, complicated, amazing northern Italian city, is comprised of over 100 islands, many of them linked by bridges and the largest criss-crossed by blue-green canals to facilitate the endless traffic - all of it floating.
Located in the Venetian lagoon, a large inlet on the Adriatic Sea, Venice was founded in 421 AD. From 1000 AD to about 1630 AD, it was a powerful maritime empire controlling the spice trade and ruled by a succession of toughminded, and sometimes bloody, Dukes - or Doges as they were called locally.
The city's incredible wealth found expression in gilded palaces and merchant villas lining the main thoroughfare, the Grand Canal. The personal wealth of the powerful enabled them to commission works from the finest Italian and foreign artists including Titian, Carpaccio, Tintoretto, Veronese and many others for the decoration of their palazzos, guild halls and churches. It is the legacy of this civil munificence which attracts art-loving tourists today.
The city has not only inspired gifted artists. Many writers including Henry James, Thomas Mann, Ernest Hemingway, who spent a lot of time in Harry's Bar - Bellini's, have found themselves enthralled with Venice.Venice is one of the top 5 tourist destinations in Italy, along with Rome, Pisa, Florence and Siena, so it is a crowded place particularly in the summer months. It is best to be mentally prepared to deal with them.
You will want to see the standard attractions: first and foremost Basillica san Marco (St. Marks's Basilica), with its bell tower (Campanille San Marco) and immense pigeon-filled square (Piazza San Marco). Don't miss a gondola ride up the Canale Grande(Grand Canal). Visit the Palazzo Ducale (Ducal Palace) and walk over the Ponte de Sospiri (the Bridge of Sighs).In its twisting and intersecting alleyways, you will see the city abounds with cafes, restaurants and shops to suit every taste and meet every budget and appetite. You will enjoy the place all the more if you take your time and simply submit yourself to the city.
Frommers Tourist Attractions in Venice Know this, however: the tourist trade extends an iron-grip on the city, everything and everyone seems to be involved in the industry. Tourist traffic only seems to abate during the chilly winter months, before it starts up again with the fanfare of the Carnivale in February. Whatever their numbers, however, they do not seem to diminish the lasting, sultry and moist charm of "La Serenissima" - the Divine Republic.
For our money, the best time to visit Venice is in spring or autumn when you will have fewer fellow tourists to contend with, and the benefit of more moderate temperatures and fresh ocean breezes. Visit earlier or later and you will enjoy crisp winter weather but also the chill of icy winds and mists.
Venice is a maze, so it can be very interesting to explore on your own without a guide. Letting your self get "lost" in the narrow streets is probably the best way to visit the "real" Venice.If you would like a guide, however, the estimated cost for a "tour escort" who accompany clients for 8 hours would be about 250 Eur; or 150 for a half day. Local guides who will take you through a museum will charge you about about 150 Eur for 2 hours.
In the Eternal City one can see many layers of history, from ancient to modern times, existing side by side. The center of the Catholic Church and the third most visited city in Europe, Rome has something for every seeker of culture and adventure. Once the center of the greatest empire on Earth, its universities, libraries, and museums are repositories of culture going back centuries. The Vatican Museums house many of the world’s great art treasures and are a favorite among art lovers worldwide. The Colosseum stands as both a great monument to the vast empire that was ancient Rome, while at the same time giving a warning to future generations about power and decadence. The city is known for its architecture, which spans centuries and offers a glimpse into the distant past as well as its influence on development through the years. Rome is one of Italy’s and the world’s great cities, a title it has held for centuries, a thought and an idea expressed in its past, and presently on display in the Eternal City.
