The Italian region of Tuscany is reputed to be the most stunning of Italy and the biggest city within it is Florence. With a population of 1.5 million it is of substantial size and sits on the river Arno. The city is extremely popular with tourists that wish to experience some of Italy’s most important cultural and historical architecture. Florence itself is a bastion of the renaissance period and has a wealth of museums and art galleries to visit. Alongside all this Florence has, as expected, some wonderful discoveries for the culinary inclined with fine cuisine and pavement cafes to sip your coffee and just watch the day passing. Florence has a long history of trade and visitors reaching back to medieval times so the city is no stranger to curious tourists.
Car hire is a real favourite with visitors to Florence as it means they are free to explore the city at their own pace and leisure. Being such a big and popular city you can find international car hire agents such as Avis etc but it is far easier to book your car rental in advance. By booking online you can be sure of the location and availability of your rental and that you do not have to waste any of your precious holiday time trying to find a car provider. Most people are also pleasantly surprised that by booking online they can find some real deals that they would not normally be offered by a walk in agent. Once you have your car you can then set out and see this beautiful city at your own pace!
