Florence, Italy
Birthplace of the Renaissance - Florence was home to the Medici Family that had so much influence - now their legacy is manifest in all sorts of edifices, art and masterpiece. The David by Michelangelo housed in the Galleria dell'Accademia is impressive. Breathtaking. The Uffizi Gallery - the 'office' Florentine style - has so much art you could literally spend a week soaking it all in. The impressive Arno River that flooded Florence back in '66 is now tamed and provides the perfect element for a beautiful photo. And don't forget to include the Ponte Vecchio in the foreground (old bridge). It was the only bridge to survive World War II bombing in Florence.
