Florence: A Beautiful City

Paper Summary:

The paper explains that Florence, one of the most beautiful cities in the world, embodies everything about Italy and serves as a guide of what the city was like during the Roman Empire and the Renaissance. The author points out that the best place to stay, if on a budget, is the Mediterraneo Grand Hotel ($92) or, if a budget is no worry, the Savoy Hotel ($350). This paper contends that the best part of Florence is that the traveler can experience the big-city aspect of Florence, while having the ability to visit a rural wine colony or stay at a remote bed and breakfast and still being within easy access distance to Florence.

From the Paper:

"Because of Florence's historical past, there are many things to see if we visit. There are many churches, museums, art galleries, and castles that allow us to experience Florence's and Italy's past. The first site that should be on every one's to-do list is the Duomo. The Duomo has become, according to sources, the symbol of Florence, and I must say from the pictures, it is very impressive. The Duomo was a former cathedral built at the end of the Medieval period using Gothic style architecture. While it has become the symbol of Florence it has also become the center. Because of this many of the important historical and cultural events are usually found by the Duomo. Today the Duomo serves as one of the many historical cathedrals and museums."
