Overall Guide : The Santa Maria del Fiore, popularly known as Il Duomo because of its huge wooden dome, is one of the largest cathedrals in Europe. The Baptistery of St. John with its intricate mosaic floors and ceiling and the bell tower ... Leggi tutto are a part of the main cathedral. The several piazzas are typical of Florence. The Piazza della Republica, the original medieval town centre, and the Piazza Signoria, the location of several museums and galleries, are the most important ones. The Ponte Vecchio is a unique stone bridge with shops hanging on to its edge with the help of stilts. The hill of Piazzale Michelangelo is the site of the famed green and white basilica of San Miniato al Monte and an ideal point for a view of the entire city. Florence is an ideal base to explore the rest of Tuscany, especially the wine region of Chianti. For an offbeat experience try the hot air balloon ride over the vineyards of Tuscany followed by a champagne breakfast.
