Terracotta rooftops and the Duomo of Florence at golden dusk

Cities of the Grand Tour

Florence

Where beauty was perfected, and never surpassed.

Florence is the city that taught Europe what beauty could be. Terracotta rooftops and the Duomo’s impossible dome, the Arno turning gold at evening, painted ceilings above beds that were palace beds first.

The award looks to the city’s palazzo hotels and hillside villas: frescoed suites, gardens above the rooftops, and terraces where the dome fills the evening like a second moon.
