It may have been the focal point of the Renaissance, but Florence is a city that’s firmly planted in the 21st century and looking forward to the future. As direct flights from the United States have increased, so has tourism on a year-round basis. Florence is a seductive city whose residents know that the Renaissance hasn't lost its power of persuasion. The cradle of the Italian Renaissance is unrivaled in the breadth of its artistic treasures. At the same time, trendy dining and shopping venues are also on the rise. Extensive chapters on Tuscany are also included, as well as a comprehensive directory with resource information, as well as recommended films, music, and books about the region.

About the Author:

Founded in 1968, Time Out has grown from humble beginnings into the leading resource for anyone wanting to know what's happening in the world's greatest cities. Alongside our influential weeklies in London, New York, Chicago and Dubai, we publish more than 20 magazines in cities as varied as Beijing and Beirut; a range of travel books, with City Guides now joined by pocket-sized Shortlist series; and an information-packed website. The company remains proudly independent, still owned by Tony Elliott four decades after he launched Time Out London. Written by local experts, and illustrated with original photography, our books also retain their independence. No business has been featured because it has advertised, and all restaurants and bars are visited and reviewed anonymously.
