A Journey to the Heart of the Renaissance: Florence

The fastest and most convenient way to travel from Rome to Florence is by taking the Frecciarossa, Italy's high-speed train. Departing from Roma Termini station, it takes about an hour and a half to reach Firenze Santa Maria Novella station. Multiple trains run daily, and prices can vary depending on the time of day, so booking in advance can save you money. While you can also travel by bus or car, the train is the fastest and least stressful option. Florence is the center of Renaissance art and architecture, and the entire city feels like a massive museum. The most famous landmark is the Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral, known as the Duomo. Its red dome is visible from anywhere in the city, and climbing to the top offers a panoramic view of Florence. The Ponte Vecchio, located along the Arno River, retains its medieval charm and is lined with jewelry shops, making it a delightful place to explore. Florence truly is a 'small but intense' city. Upon arriving by high-speed train from Rome, I was immediately struck by the city's quaint atmosphere and artistic vibe. The Duomo was even more magnificent in person than in photos, and while the climb to the dome is quite steep, it is well worth the effort. However, Florence is very touristy, so I recommend booking tickets for major attractions in advance or visiting early in the day.
