Travel to Florence and experience the culture of these genres, and because the works of art are widespread across the city, it is easy to get started. Here are a few of the gems to see in the churches, museums and art galleries of the city.

• Michelangelo’s David

The statue of David by the artist Michelangelo is a masterpiece of marble sculpture, with great attention to detail and understanding of human anatomy displayed in the work. Standing just over five meters tall, the statue is a work of art that symbolizes strength and youthful beauty to the city's people. The statue of David is on display at the Galleria dell’Accademia.

• Cathedral of Santa Maria Del Fiore

The cathedral is one of the most historic in Florence, showing precisely why the city is famed for its architecture. Although the cathedral's exterior is breathtaking, its true wonder begins as soon as you enter the front door. Take a step inside and look up at the dome crafted by the artist Brunelleschi. Whereas some see it as merely a beautiful architectural feature, it also serves as a vantage point, allowing you to take in the beauty of the city. Let your gaze travel along the cathedral walls, from the stained glass windows allowing light to flood into the building to the awesome details on the altar. Take the stairs to soak up the best views of the city, as few other buildings generate the same delight.

When your day of exploration is done, finding a restaurant renowned for excellent food is the next best thing. Try out delicious local dishes such as ribollita, a vegetable soup, and lampredotto, especially tender strips of beef. Sample the fabulous regional wines, and if you are a pizza fan, visit the nearest pizzeria for the real deal. But, most importantly, don’t ignore the florentine street foods such as gelato, ice-cream; panini, a toasted sandwich; and tagliere, a salami and cheese board.
