The Uffizi Gallery, Italy
How can we talk about art and not mention Florence? Our next stop is the The Uffizi Gallery, a testament to the Italian Renaissance. On display, you’ll see the works of il Divino (‘the divine one’), Michelangelo, and others. But don’t rush, take time to soak in the grandeur.
