Short break to Florence
A short jaunt to Florence ticks all the boxes for the perfect city break by train.

The Duomo’s red-tiled dome, crafted by Brunelleschi, defines the skyline, while the Uffizi Gallery houses Botticelli’s and Michelangelo’s masterpieces. The Ponte Vecchio spans the Arno River, lined with historic shops, and the Boboli Gardens offer a peaceful retreat. Florence’s impact on art and culture remains timeless, making it a must-visit for history and art enthusiasts.

Holidays by land and sea
Visit Florence’s Il Duomo, the stunning cathedral with the world’s largest masonry dome. Admire its marble facade, the bronze 'Gates of Paradise,' religious relics, and iconic sculptures and frescoes.
Stroll along the historic Ponte Vecchio, spanning the Arno River. Browse its local shops and restaurants, then pause to admire fantastic views of the river.
The famed Uffizi Gallery is a treasure trove of art from the Renaissance to the present day, with galleries showcasing masterpieces by Botticelli, Giotto, Caravaggio, and Lippi (amongst many others).
See Michaelangelo's original David at the the Galleria dell’Accademia. Seeing him in person is a very different experience from pictures (spot the inconsistency in the size of his feet and limbs!).
