The man is so created that he is looking for newest origins of knowledge of the world. Of course, it is good to combine rest with the ability to learn as much as possible about the history of mankind, culture, art. Of course, each country is beautiful in its own way, rich in historical monuments. But Italy occupies a special place. This is a cradle of the history of architecture, art, culture, politics, banking system. And the famous Florence simply attracts tourists from around the world. My friends and I decided to dedicate vacation to the trip to Florence, looked as much as possible and learning in this city, the museum.
Since there are no direct flights here, and you need to get with a change in Munich or Rome, we chose Rome. After all, see the attractions of the capital of Italy, is also very tempting. True, instead of one day, we spent almost three here. Having visited the Capitol Hill, seeing the Colosseum, the greatness of the Vatican and St. Peter Square, having passed along the Spanish staircase and much more that struck us, we realized that we had come to this country not in vain. You can get to Florence by train, train, but we have chosen a trip on a comfortable bus that would admire the beautiful autumn landscapes.
Florence translates as a "blooming city". Optimists admire bushes of roses, beautiful greens, lemon trees, gardens, squares, and complements this spring mood, Duomo Cathedral, which is covered with marble plates of green, white, pink. But the pessimists tend to the designation "blooming", as economic flourishing, because streets, squares, multi-storey palaces with monumental facades from gray stone, have to perceive by them of the city having a monumentally discreet view. But, nevertheless, this is a very beautiful, majestic city.
It's easy enough to get here. Given the huge flow of tourists from different parts of the world, the city offers a large number of comfortable hotels in which the highest level service. In the hotels of restaurants, spa salons, rooms equipped with classic or most modern furniture. Near historic sights are located the most modern new hotels. If you wish, you can book apartments equipped with a bathroom, a mini-cuisine, a fireplace. Almost everywhere there is free parking and Wi-Fi. Prices are different, but quite satisfy the wishes of all coming here. Because on weekends, festive, vacation vacation season offers a variety of discounts and preferential prices, we perfectly settled in one of the affordable hotels.
The historic center of the city is a kind of open-air museum. According to historical data, he was founded by Julia Caesar. By the end of the 16th century he was already a cultural, financial center of Europe. This is the place of the Renaissance. Today, here at every step very harmoniously combined historical attractions with the achievements of modernity. Leonardo da Vinci and Botticelli, they are known to the world and this city of their homeland. Santa Del Fiore Cathedral, built in the 13th century, next to whom the Handsome of Battister San Giovanni, built even in the 19th century, is located on Piazzo Del Duomo, from which we started familiarizing with the city, the museum. A copy of Michelangelo's famous sculpture, David, as well as several medieval palaces, opened on Piazzo Della Signoria. I am struck by Villa and Garden Medici in Castello, Bargello Palace, Uffizi Gallery. This cradle of art presented the world 350 famous artists. Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Galilee, Mariaptor Amerigo Vespucci, who became a godfather for the name of the American continent. It is only a small part of celebrities of these places. It is simply impossible to briefly describe everything beautiful, seen here. Just need to come more than once here.
