Another Dream Destination?


I was quite curious where is the exact location of Florence, Italy and how it looks like. So, I searched through Wikipedia and here is what I found.

Florence (Italian: Firenze, Old Italian: Fiorenza, Latin: Florentia) is the capital city of the Italian region of Tuscany, and of the province of Florence. It is the most populous city in Tuscany and has a population of approximately 364,779.

The city lies on the Arno River and is known for its history and its importance in the Middle Ages and in the Renaissance, especially for its art and architecture. A centre of medieval European trade and finance, the city is often considered the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance; in fact, it has been called the Athens of the Middle Ages. It was long under the de facto rule of the Medici family. From 1865 to 1870 the city was also the capital of the Kingdom of Italy.


It's such a beautiful place and it's indeed so rich in history and the arts. I wonder if we could ever go there and stay in one of the Hotel Florence . Then the next stop for sure will be Naples and also stay in one of the Hotel Naples and then continue on to experience Bed Breakfast Paris , where else but in France.

Anyways, I guess all these places will be another dream destination of mine. Will it just be all in my dreams? ;)
