2016 Day 05: Firenze (Florence; City of Firenze (FI), Toscana) (Wed 24 Aug 2016)

Firenze is the capital of Toscana (Tuscany) in the northern part of central Italia. It's famous for being one of the powering forces of the Renaissance, the presence of the Uffizi art galleries, and the
Accademia Gallery which holds Michelangelo's David.

During our package tour in 2016 we spent a day there. We returned by ourselves for two nights after the tour, although that was well short of what we needed especially as one of the days was taken up entirely by the Cinque Terre tour which is documented elsewhere. On the 2019 trip we made a whistle stop layover of a few hours by changing trains from Bologna to Roma, thus allowing us to make a trip to the Accademia which we had missed in 2016. That will be covered in a separate gallery.
