FOR THE ART ADDICTS: The artistic capital of Tuscany doesn’t believe in the humblebrag. Michelangelo’s David, Botticelli’s Birth of Venus, Ghiberti’s Gates of Paradise — when it comes to world-famous art, Florence is full-on flaunting it. If you plan to visit multiple museums, save money and skip the lines by investing in the Firenze Card. For 72 Euros, you’ll have VIP access to almost all the city’s museums for a full 72 hours. After you’ve had your fill of crowds, escape with a day trip to the picturesque Tuscan towns of Siena and San Gimignano, take a winery tour in the tranquil Chianti region, or see the famed slope of the leaning Tower of Pisa.
