Florence has long been known for its gorgeous views and Renaissance architecture. If you plan to visit this historic city, then the first place you should visit is the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. It started to be built in 1436 but was only completed with the construction of the facade in the 19th century. Next in line is the Basilica of Santa Croce in Florence where you can visit the tombs of Galileo, Michelangelo, and Niccolo Machiavelli. If you love art, then Accademia Gallery, where you can see the works of Michelangelo and other great creators, will win your heart. You will indeed spend a lot of time walking through the origins of art during your trip. So that you can rest at night, ensure you have a comfortable place to stay. Keep scrolling to find the top short-term rentals in Florence, Italy.
