Florence

Florence has 10 neighbourhoods and 362 places. This is the centro storico: a bistecca in the streets round the Duomo, a long lunch among the shop windows of Via Tornabuoni, and a spritz in the shadow of the Palazzo Vecchio. Duomo has the most on 56, then Via Tornabuoni on 55 and Piazza della Signoria on 50.
