Florence holds so much art that I didn't even know about! Today I went out into Florence with a friend to see some of the famous sights of Florence. First we climbed up to the top of the Duomo Bell Tower, which was quite the work-out but so worth it. It was a foggy morning but Florence is still so beautiful up there.
We then went and stood in line for a little over an hour to see the famous David. The hype is real, he's huge and the sculpture is absolutely stunning. There was a lot of amazing art in the Accademia and the David just steals the show. His expressions and the detail Michaelangelo put into his work is stunning. We also saw a lot of strange old sculptures in a room of head sculptures, it was kind of weird but still pretty impressive.
Next we went to the Uffizi museum. I walk by there all the time and have never gone in. And it just took my breath away. The artwork is so beautiful and there's so much detail. We walked into a big open hall and there were just huge paintings covering the walls and sculptures lining the walls and then we walked around and the artwork in that museum is great. Definately worth it.
