Opis

At the heart of this full-colour and visually inspiring guide is a wealth of well-researched information and over 120 detailed recommendations, written by experts. Florence is a city devoted to art and breathtaking architecture, from the magnificent Duomo to the Uffizi gallery and from the Palazzo Pitti to the picturesque Ponte Vecchio, you will find all the sights and top attractions explored in an easy-to-read A-Z format helping you navigate your way through the almost overwhelming array of sights. Superb 3D laminated illustrations display the key highlights in perspective and include the Duomo Santa Maria del Fiore and the impressive Piazza della Signoria, brought to life at the turn of a page. Clear and concise background texts cover Florence's fascinating cultural heritage and history, tracing key events from its founding as a Roman veterans' colony in 59BC to the Medici and beyond. Special feature pages cover topics of particular interest that give a rare glimpse into everyday life and throughout the guide you will find answers to some of Florence's more intriguing cultural questions such as 'Why is the construction of the cathedral dome a technical tour de force?' and 'What role did the Medici play in the city's history?'. A comprehensive 'Practicalities' chapter covers all the essential travel advice you need, including accommodation, transport, food and drink, health, shopping, money and much more, not to mention useful insider tips for travellers with disabilities and those travelling with children.
