Florence is the capital of the region of Tuscany, on Italy’s northwest coast. There are 57,000 students who study at the University of Florence – that’s more than one out of every ten people in the city!  For centuries this small Tuscan town has been considered the cultural center of Western Civilization.  To quote Lonely planet:

“The cultural and historical impact of Florence is overwhelming. Close up, however, the city is one of Italy’s most atmospheric and pleasant, retaining a strong resemblance to the small late-medieval center that contributed so much to the cultural and political development of Europe. Unfortunately, it can be one of Italy’s most clogged tourist traps, with up to 2000 tourist buses arriving daily in the peak season.”
