The renowned city of Florence stands on the Arno River in the Italian region of Tuscany. It’s 170 miles north of Rome, in the northern half of the country and about 50 miles inland from the western coast. If you pick up a hire car at Florence Airport you’ll be able to quickly reach the historic centre of the city, which promises all the cultural richness you’d expect to find in the birthplace of the Renaissance with its hugely significant architectural and artistic achievements.
If you hire a car from Florence Airport you’ll be able to tour the city’s famous sights and visit the attractions found just outside. The rest of Tuscany including Pisa, San Gimignano and Siena is well worth a look – the Leaning Tower alone is something to behold. Tour the great palaces and gardens with panoramic views in the surrounding hills and drive into the city itself. Attractions like the Ponte Vecchio Bridge, Uffizi Gallery and Duomo Cathedral underline just how visually stunning Florence is, while inside the Uffizi itself you’ll find works from the great masters including Da Vinci and Rembrandt.
