Florence

Slim, stylish and pocketable, Florence Directions is full of ideas for stop-overs, long-weekends and flying visits to one of Italy's most popular city break destinations, richly illustrated with hundreds of specially commissioned photos.

The full-colour introduction features 28 themed spreads - from the city's frescos to the pick of the wine bars, among the best in all of Italy.

The main section of the guide, "Places", gives a district-by-district account of the accommodation, sights, restaurants, shops, transport links and nightlife - all generously illustrated.

Every listing and review is pinpointed on accompanying user-friendly maps.
