Laurina Bragdon Enjoys Traveling to Florence

Laurina Bragdon passionately follows her hobby of
traveling and Florence is one of her favorite
destinations. It is home to many attractions such
as Italy's best museums, beautiful cathedrals and
churches. The interesting streets, shops and
elegant buildings attract travelers from around
the world. The most popular sites in Florence
include the Cathedral, the Baptistery, the
Uffizi, the Bargello, and the Accademia.

Uffizi is one of the greatest museums of the
world and houses the premier collection of
Italian Renaissance art and features works by
such masters as Botticelli, Titian, Michelangelo
and Leonardo Da Vinci. It is a must-visit museum
for all travelers, especially art lovers.
Visitors to the Uffizi may also visit the famous
Vasari Corridor, a hidden walkway built in 1564
for the Medici family. It connects Palazza
Vecchio and the Uffizi to the Pitti Palace on the
other side of the Arno.

Laurina Bragdon makes sure to set aside time to
visit the vast and varied collection housed in
the Pitti Palace. She says that spending a day at
the Boboli Gardens or climbing the hill to the
church of San Miniato al Monte offers an
enchanting view of Florence. Florence's most
famous square is Piazza Della Signoria, the heart
of the historic center.

It hosts the finest collection of outdoor statues
in the world including the famous copy of
Michelangelo's David, Hercules and Cacus and the
gorgeous Fountain of Neptune. The piazza has been
Florence's political center since the middle ages
and contains elaborately decorated public rooms
and private apartments. The very impressive
Loggia dei Lanzi is an outdoor museum where one
will find an outstanding collection of statues
such as Ercole and Centaur, and Perseus, amongst
others.
