Florence
Last Updated: May. 25, 2011
Florence (Italian: Firenze) is only a small city on the banks of the Arno River in Italy. The capital of Tuscany, it is easily most famous for being the focal point and home of the Renaissance period of history (late 15th through 17th centuries).
During this time the city was home to the likes of Leonardo Da Vinci, Machiavelli,Michelangelo, Donatello, Botticelli, Lippi and many, many more.
History, art, and culture all combine in almost everything you can see and touch but these days the city is also well know for it fantastic food, shopping and nightlife.

A tip for people looking for a decent coffee shop.. if you don't already know about it, you will because most Contiki travellers find out about it - its The Grasshopper. Ask a local and they should be able to tell you where to find it.
If you have a high-def video camera, be sure to take it on a hike with you to the bottom of the canyon. HD is the only way to bring out the gorgeous contrast of blue sky and red rock that you'll want to show everyone at home.
Winter is an excellent time to go to Europe. There are next to no lines for the museums, you can experience the cities like the locals do and everything is cheaper! Plus, Christmas and New Year's Eve in Europe are very special.
