Location
Florence is located in the northwestern region of Italy in Tuscany. It is less than 2 hours by train from Rome in the south and less than 3 hours from Milan in the north. It's a surprisingly small city with less than half a million people. However, don't let the size fool you, without a map you will be going in circles before you know it!
Still, it is the perfect city for exploring on foot. All of the major landmarks in the city are only 20-40 minutes apart, or less. Florence simply cannot be rushed. It was made for leisurely strolls along the Arno river, over one of the many bridges, (including the Ponte Vecchio), or through one of the countless narrow streets surrounding the Uffizi, the Duomo, or any of the numerous piazzas.
Be sure to visit all these sites and the surounding region with your fellow students... and don't forget to practice your Italian in the shops!
