One of the things that makes a city break to Florence by train so enjoyable is the fact that you get off the train right in the center. When you walk through the charming streets to your hotel you'll come across countless imposing buildings and cozy bars already. The place you'll be staying at is just as cozy and not too far from the station, as well as the many attractions the city has to offer. The medieval atmosphere can't be ignored during your stay in Florence and this is entirely due to buildings such as the Cathedral of Florence and the Ponte Vecchio. The museum of Renaissance paintings, Uffizi, and the Boboli Gardens are part of the ambiance as well. The impressive 13th-century Palazzo Vecchio and the monumental Santa Croce make sure the city is entirely unique. The city is small enough to walk from highlight to highlight on foot, but large enough to continue to amaze. Florence has the ideal combination of culture, history and authenticity and is also perfectly accessible by train: more than enough reason to visit Florence quickly by train!
