Florence, Toscana, Italy Summary
The famous Italian city of Florence is known as the Renaissance capital of the world. A cultural, artistic, and architectural paradise, it showcases some of the country’s most beautiful churches, monasteries, galleries, palaces, and museums. The Duomo de Firenze, the city’s striking cathedral, and the Santa Croce church housing the tombs of Galileo, Michelangelo, Machiavelli, and Dante are well worth the visit. For a panoramic view of the city, a climb up the church of San Miniato is recommended. Travelers looking to enjoy a bit of nature can take a trip to the surrounding Tuscan countryside.

duomo and piazzale- 2 musts
Agree with lylybud, you should definitely see the Duomo (Cathedral). It’s very impressive. Also go to Piazzele Michelangiolo for the most beautiful panoramic view of Florence.

nice place to stay
Besides visiting the city, you can relax out in the valley. A stay at Agritruismo Podere la Casellina is very promising.

landmark
There are plenty of basilicas to explore, and of course the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, Florence’s most famous landmark.
