I visited Florence for a day last year. It was the last of five excursions on my holiday. Unfortunately I would also have to rate it as the weakest of the five destinations.
Thats not to say I didn't like Florence, it is just that Italy has so much more to offer. Other excirsions took us to San Gimignano (incredibe), Piza (More impessive), Isle of Elba (Just go there!) and Volterra near SG.

Florence offers many impressive churches and towers to visit. As a christian I would have to agree about how impressive they are. However none of them are anymore impressive than St Pauls on a sunny day.

I won't speak against Florence as I did enjoy myself. I would just like to tell people of places which interested me more. If you are into your history and paintings etc then you would love Florence.
There are many famous landmarks to see and walk on!

I hope people dont get offended by this comment but a "traditional" friend of mine described florence as feminine. I can see his point I was looking forward to seeing Florentina's stadium far more than the many paintings etc that I did see. Maybe that is a lack of culture?
