Florence
Last Updated: 5th Feb 2013
Florence (Italian: Firenze) is only a small city on the banks of the Arno River in Italy. The capital of Tuscany, it is easily most famous for being the focal point and home of the Renaissance period of history (late 15th through 17th centuries).
During this time the city was home to the likes of Leonardo Da Vinci, Machiavelli,Michelangelo, Donatello, Botticelli, Lippi and many, many more.
History, art, and culture all combine in almost everything you can see and touch but these days the city is also well know for it fantastic food, shopping and nightlife.

Wood pellet mill plant on the surface appear to be an excellent means to fix warming. Many manufactures who build stoves and wood heaters, however, don’t list them in their product line.

I'm a Bondi local...it is always packed with people...if you're looking for a more chilled beach hang out, check out Tamarama, Coogee or Bronte beach, all 5-10mins from Bondi.
The trolley tour of Boston, offered as an optional, is the best way to see the entire city. Take it at your own pace, but I would suggest stopping off at the USS Constitution and Fenway.
For ladies I would definitely recommend finding some slightly nicer than normal black flats... I bought some in Prague for super cheap and still wear them all the time!
