----------------------------------

Centuries of History and Art have left this city with a unique heritage in the world. While Florence carefully maintains its Renaissance architecture and culture, it is not locked in time; the city pulses with life from scurrying students in the university quarter to the businessmen who whiz by on Vespas. The rich artistic heritage, the numerous cultural events, and beauty of the surroundings make Florence one of the world's most beautiful cities and a unique centre of attraction for visitors from all over the world.

Walking around the city you will find shops selling fashionable clothes, antiques and jewellery as well as typical Florentine handicrafts; you will meet ordinary people and talk to them in Italian language. Florence is by tradition the city where you can practise and learn Italian language to communicate with local people everyday.
