Regional capital of Tuscany, and world tourist destination, Florence is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, a fact acknowledged by UNESCO which has designated the city as a treasure of humanity. The city hosts some of the most famous works of art on the planet and the whole of the city centre is packed with stunning palaces, churches and monuments. The surrounding countryside is well-known for its rolling hills and its wine—particularly the Chianti area between Siena and Florence.
