Florence is a city that, having visited once, you always want to return to. Each visit reveals details that you did not catch, and gradually the whole beauty of the city is revealed in all its nuances.

Sometimes it’s enough to look up, follow a secondary road, take a few more steps and go beyond the most popular routes to see unexpected details or discover new stories, characters, and traditions. There are small museums that store unusual works and are arranged in such a way as to create a fascinating sightseeing route.
