Even among Italy's cities Florence is something special, rising from the beautiful landscape of Tuscany as a living piece of history. Even the most ordinary street or building is a work of art in itself and demonstrates the simple classical beauty that defined the Renaissance. Everywhere you turn you'll see works by Michelangelo, Donatello, Brunelleschi and any number of Masters of Italy's Golden Age. It is in the museums and galleries of the city that most of Florence's treasures are concentrated. The city's major institutions might not rival museums such as the Louvre in terms of size but in terms of quality they are paralleled by few places in the world. However, rich as Florence's art collections are, one single piece shines above all others - Michelangelo's David. There are more that two hundred hotels in Florence to sightsee easily with the best offers for summer.
