The historical center of Florence is small and full of beautiful Renaissance Palazzi, Medieval narrow passageways as well as the famous Lungarno along the river which all present a unique setting for a couple celebrating each other. Walking along the streets of Florence isn’t just romantic, it is also the best way to visit and appreciate the city itself. Ponte Vecchio, particularly at night, is considered the most romantic spot in the city center and the softly lit sidewalks along the river make an evening stroll under the stars very romantic.

And… talking about romances, track the famous love stories walking thru the streets of Florence!

Discover Palazzo Mondragone where Francesco I dei Medici and Bianca Cappello- both unhappily married – fell madly in love and conducted their love affair in the Palazzo till when, a few years later, both of their partners died and this clandestine couple was finally able to get married and live together for the rest of their lifes. And what about the English poets, Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barret Browning who escaped to Florence after their secret marriage, living in Casa Guidi, in Piazza San Felice for he rest of their married life as Elizabeth’s father had opposed their marriage so strongly that the couple had chosen to flee the country rather than stay to face his wrath.
