Florence is one of the most attractive cities in the country. After all, it is the birthplace of the Renaissance, one of the most significant periods for arts and culture in Europe. If you’re an art enthusiast, do not miss this chance to visit illustrious institutions such as Gallery of the Academy of Florence, Opera del Duomo Museum, and Uffizi Gallery. Another must-visit is Piazza della Signoria, a politically significant square in Florence’s history. It houses Palazzo Vecchio, which serves as the town hall. No visit to Italy is complete without seeing a church, so include Basilica of Santa Maria Novella in your itinerary.

Hello, my name is Joanna. I was born and raised in Poland but then I fell hopelessly in love with Tuscany and have been living in Florence for 20 years. Wisely enough, I decided to turn my passion into work and became a tour guide. Now I can share with you my immense love for the beauty, history and art of these enchanted places. I am particularly passionate about the Middle Ages, history, sculpture, nature and sports. In my spare time, I travel, read, go to concerts, play sports and do a lot of hiking. I work mainly in Florence and Siena but I love going to Lucca, less known Tuscan beauty and Pisa. I can also organize a food tour, a wine tasting or a day trip in Tuscany.
