Do you like Art, Architecture? Here is my favorite website on Earth
THAIS.IT is a guide with photos to the art and nature of the world, and maintained by an Italian tech school. It's Italian so the best parts are the virtual tours of Italian cities like Florence, Milan and Rome. The botanical and nature images are also incredible. I used this to plan museum stops in Italy.

You can literally view every artwork in Florence by museum or by artist.

It is one of those sites that the further you dig the more you find.

Link to the English language version: http://thais.it/default_uk.htm

Enjoy!

11. Awesome! I'm going to be living in Florence for a month in the summer...
I'm going with a study abroad group. I'll be taking photography and art history classes, and we'll be going out every day to see art and architecture. I'm so excited! Thanks for this great resource!

13. Enjoy. Especially the Gelato and
Do whatever you have to and get to Fiesole, the incredible ancient town overlooking Florence. If I remember correctly we took the 7 bus right there.

Give yourself a day or afternoon.
