Florence is famous as a city of art, beauty, and architecture, and it hosts many of the world’s most famous artworks. From its ancient cathedrals and churches to its more modern hotels and art galleries, there is plenty of fascinating architecture to explore and experience in the city. If you’re planning a trip to Florence, make sure you don’t miss these three unique, beautiful buildings as you move around the city. Do be aware that most galleries and churches cost money to enter, and it’s worth booking in advance if you can to avoid long queues and disappointment.

Florence Cathedral

From the outside, this cathedral is incredibly striking and impressive, and things only get better once you enter. Expect gold-embellished doorways, beautifully bright frescoes, ornate carvings, and an impressively high ceiling, all of which join to create a sense of wonder and awe.

The Medici Palace

The first palatial home of this famous family, and a space in which world-famous artists including Botticelli and Michelangelo have left their mark, this stunning building now functions as a museum that allows visitors to experience the grandeur and glory of this wealthy Florentine family. Each room contains intricate details in the form of paneling, tapestries, frescoes, and carvings, so it’s worth allocating an entire afternoon to exploring this labyrinth of wonders.

Basilica of Santa Maria Novella

This relatively small church is Florence’s oldest basilica, dating back to the mid 1300s. Once inside, keep an eye out for the basilica’s famed stained glass, many of which date back to the 1500s. You can also admire the church’s pulpit, from which Father Tommaso Caccini denounced Galileo’s new theories relating to the cosmos in 1614. Florence truly is a city filled to its brim with history and culture.

On the outskirts, there is Eastville Park, which has a huge lake and canal network, Blaise Castle with a gorge walk, and Ashton Court, which is a large estate with great views across Bristol where a lot of hot air balloons are launched. Bristol has far too many parks to explore in a day, so you’ll have to keep coming back.

Prague is the capital of the Czech Republic and one of the most significant historical cities in Europe. The home of Kafka, Prague is a city that is full of stunning architecture and fascinating history, and its vibrant nightlife makes it the place to be at all times of the day. Here are three reasons why Prague is a city you must visit.

Architecture From A Fairytale

As city skylines go, there aren’t many that are as fairytale-esque as that of Prague. Its historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage site is teeming with sites of historical importance. There are various architectural styles to reflect Prague’s rich history- Gothic and Baroque, as well as Renaissance and Romantic. Prague Castle is the biggest ancient castle in the world and it still dominates the skyline of the city today. There is also the Old Town, with its cobbled streets and ancient churches that will make you feel like a time traveler.

Lots of History and Culture

Prague is steeped in culture and history, which makes it an ideal place for art and history enthusiasts to visit. The National Museum is well worth a visit, with its collections of Czech art and history. Prague’s Castle has a lot to uncover for anyone with an interest in Prague’s royal history. The Kafka Museum is also a great place to stop in for any fans of Kafka’s work. The influence of the city of Prague on Kafka’s writing can easily be discerned and makes it an even more special city.

Great Atmosphere

Prague is as famous for its laid-back atmosphere as it is for its buzzing nightlife. Visit the bohemian neighborhood Mala Strana to get a sense of life as a citizen of Prague, or take a trip to Petrin Hill to enjoy some green space and great views over the city. If you fancy going out at night, Prague has some of the best nightclubs in Europe to offer, as well as the cheapest price for beer in any major European city. This simply confirms Prague’s status as one of the most desirable cities to visit.

The Renaissance is known as a period of artistic revival and creation, taking place between the early 14th century through the early 16th century. This rebirth period manifested itself in art, culture, and of course architecture. These four Renaissance-era buildings across Europe showcase the beauty and elegance of this style.

St. Peter’s Basilica, Vatican City

St. Peter’s Basilica is sometimes called the greatest of all Christian churches. Because it was built over a long period of time it also includes many Baroque style elements, which followed the Renaissance period and focused on lavish decorations and decadence. Renaissance architecture, on the other hand, was about clean symmetry, proportions, and harmony.

Palazzo Medici Riccardi, Florence, Italy

Palazzo de Medici was designed for the famous Medici family in Florence. It is often described as the Renaissance house “where it all began” because the world of artist artists like Michaelangelo, Donatello, and Boticelli was often commissioned by the Medici family.

Château de Chambord, Centre-Val de Loire, France

Although the Château de Chambord has many French medieval features, it is a clear example of French Renaissance architecture. It is mostly known for the iconic central staircase.

Kronborg, Helsingor, Denmark

Kronborg was first built as a fortress in the 1420s but was extended steadily for the next 200 years until Flemish architect Anthonis van Obbergen was brought in in 1578 to make the castle more magnificent. It is a UNESCO Heritage Site and one of the most important Renaissance castles in Northern Europe.

There are many unique buildings on this planet. Some are inspirational while others are more on the bizarre side, but what they all have in common is that it’s impossible not to notice them. Here are three of the most unusual buildings we’ve seen.

Wat Samphran – Thailand

It may not look like it, but Wat Samphran is a Buddhist temple. It’s 17-stories tall and cylindrical and if you’re still unsure where to look, note that it’s wrapped in a huge dragon sculpture. There’s so little information about the building that nobody’s sure when and who built it.

Stone House – Portugal

Portuguese engineer Guimarães built this vacation home in the Fãfe mountains region. The walls and ceiling are made from huge stones and some other materials he used include wood, glass, and metal.

Basket Building- United States

The Longaberger Company produces maple wood baskets and other products, so it was only natural for their building to be shaped like one of their baskets, right? There’s a glass ceiling on the top so there’s plenty of natural light.

Prague is the capital of the Czech Republic and one of the most significant historical cities in Europe. The home of Kafka, Prague is a city that is full of stunning architecture and fascinating history, and its vibrant nightlife makes it the place to be at all times of the day. Here are three reasons why Prague is a city you must visit.

Architecture From A Fairytale

As city skylines go, there aren’t many that are as fairytale-esque as that of Prague. Its historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage site is teeming with sites of historical importance. There are various architectural styles to reflect Prague’s rich history- Gothic and Baroque, as well as Renaissance and Romantic. Prague Castle is the biggest ancient castle in the world and it still dominates the skyline of the city today. There is also the Old Town, with its cobbled streets and ancient churches that will make you feel like a time traveler.

Lots of History and Culture

Prague is steeped in culture and history, which makes it an ideal place for art and history enthusiasts to visit. The National Museum is well worth a visit, with its collections of Czech art and history. Prague’s Castle has a lot to uncover for anyone with an interest in Prague’s royal history. The Kafka Museum is also a great place to stop in for any fans of Kafka’s work. The influence of the city of Prague on Kafka’s writing can easily be discerned and makes it an even more special city.

Great Atmosphere

Prague is as famous for its laid-back atmosphere as it is for its buzzing nightlife. Visit the bohemian neighborhood Mala Strana to get a sense of life as a citizen of Prague, or take a trip to Petrin Hill to enjoy some green space and great views over the city. If you fancy going out at night, Prague has some of the best nightclubs in Europe to offer, as well as the cheapest price for beer in any major European city. This simply confirms Prague’s status as one of the most desirable cities to visit.

The Renaissance is known as a period of artistic revival and creation, taking place between the early 14th century through the early 16th century. This rebirth period manifested itself in art, culture, and of course architecture. These four Renaissance-era buildings across Europe showcase the beauty and elegance of this style.

St. Peter’s Basilica, Vatican City

St. Peter’s Basilica is sometimes called the greatest of all Christian churches. Because it was built over a long period of time it also includes many Baroque style elements, which followed the Renaissance period and focused on lavish decorations and decadence. Renaissance architecture, on the other hand, was about clean symmetry, proportions, and harmony.

Palazzo Medici Riccardi, Florence, Italy

Palazzo de Medici was designed for the famous Medici family in Florence. It is often described as the Renaissance house “where it all began” because the world of artist artists like Michaelangelo, Donatello, and Boticelli was often commissioned by the Medici family.

Château de Chambord, Centre-Val de Loire, France

Although the Château de Chambord has many French medieval features, it is a clear example of French Renaissance architecture. It is mostly known for the iconic central staircase.

Kronborg, Helsingor, Denmark

Kronborg was first built as a fortress in the 1420s but was extended steadily for the next 200 years until Flemish architect Anthonis van Obbergen was brought in in 1578 to make the castle more magnificent. It is a UNESCO Heritage Site and one of the most important Renaissance castles in Northern Europe.

There are many unique buildings on this planet. Some are inspirational while others are more on the bizarre side, but what they all have in common is that it’s impossible not to notice them. Here are three of the most unusual buildings we’ve seen.

Wat Samphran – Thailand

It may not look like it, but Wat Samphran is a Buddhist temple. It’s 17-stories tall and cylindrical and if you’re still unsure where to look, note that it’s wrapped in a huge dragon sculpture. There’s so little information about the building that nobody’s sure when and who built it.

Stone House – Portugal

Portuguese engineer Guimarães built this vacation home in the Fãfe mountains region. The walls and ceiling are made from huge stones and some other materials he used include wood, glass, and metal.

Basket Building- United States

The Longaberger Company produces maple wood baskets and other products, so it was only natural for their building to be shaped like one of their baskets, right? There’s a glass ceiling on the top so there’s plenty of natural light.
