Palazzo Vecchio

Palazzo Vecchio — literally "the old palace" — was the ducal residence in Piazza della Signoria, but today it is the town hall of Florence. It houses a large collection of paintings and sculptures, and on the square just in front of the building, you can admire several amazing statues: one of them is a copy of the famous "David" by Michelangelo. In fact, this was where the original sculpture was located before it was moved to the Accademia Gallery in 1873.

Do & See

Visiting Florence during spring is an obvious option. It is one of the best times of the year to explore Tuscany's capital city due to warmer temperatures and all the beautiful flowers in bloom. In Florence, there is so much to see and do. The city attracts millions of tourists each year, and it has been ranked as one of the world's most visited destinations by Euromonitor International.
