3 . Top attractions in Florence
One of the wealthiest cities during the Italian Renaissance, Florence is home to classical works of art, historic architecture and natural beauty. Here are the top 4 attractions in Florence.
♦ Duomo—Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore
ADDRESS: Piazza del Duomo, 50122 Firenze
PHONE: +39-55-2302885
Florence's most popular site is Duomo(cathedral). Construction of the Duomo began in 1296. Inside the Duomo, there are dozens of paintings and sculptures of great historical and cultural significance, so give yourself some time to take it all in. The main attraction of this massive structure is Brunelleschi's Dome, a masterpiece of architecture. You'll definitely want to buy a ticket to climb the 463 steps to its top.
♦ Galleria degli Uffizi
ADDRESS: Piazzale degli Uffizi, 6, 50122 Firenze
PHONE: +39-55-2388651
The Galleria degli Uffizi holds the world’s most important collection of Renaissance art, as well as thousands of paintings from medieval to modern times. Artists whose works you'll see include Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Perugino, and Raphael. Having all these artists' works in one place means you'll want to allow plenty of time to fully appreciate all of them. The Uffizi is Italy's most crowded museum so it's a good idea to buy tickets ahead to avoid long ticket lines.
♦ Campanile—Bell Tower
ADDRESS: Piazza del Duomo, 50122 Firenze
PHONE: +39-55-2302885
Construction of the Campanile (Italian for “hell tower”) began in 1334. Inside the Campanile are detailed relief carvings and sculptures. If you climb the 414 stairs (there's no elevator in this Gothic tower), you'll be rewarded not only with great views of the Cathedral and its dome hut of Florence and the surrounding area.
♦ Ponte Vecchio
ADDRESS: Ponte Vecchio, 50125 Firenze
PHONE: +39-55-294290
The Ponte Vecchio (old bridge), built in 1345, was Florence's first bridge across the Arno River. It is the only surviving bridge from Florence's medieval days (others were destroyed in World War II). The always crowded Fonte Vecchio is still lined with shops selling gold and silver jewelry. From the bridge, you’ll have a great view of the Arno River and beyond.

9 . The winners of The Cultural City of East Asia in 2021 have been chosen, with four cities in China, Japan and South Korea winning the title, the Chinese Ministry of Culture and Tourism announced on Sunday.
Shaoxing of East China’s Zhejiang Province, Dunhuang in Northwest China’s Gansu Province, Suncheon in South Korea and Kitakyushu in Japan were selected through votes held in their respective countries in 2020. Choosing Dunhuang and Shaoxing at the same time marks the first time that one country has selected two cities in the program.
These four cities are major cultural landmarks in their respective countries. Dunhuang was a major stop on the ancient Silk Road and is best known for its nearby Mogao Grottoes, which contain some of the finest examples of Buddhist art from a period extending 1, 000 years. Suncheon is an eco-city in South Korea that is a major agricultural and industrial center and also known for Suncheon Bay. Kitakyushu city was formed in 1963 through a combination of five big cities centered around the ancient city of Kokura. It is also where the already delayed 12th meeting of the three countries’ culture ministers will be held in 2021. Suncheon and Kitakyushu also won The Cultural City of East Asia in 2020.
These four cities are active centers for art and cultural communication. According to the announcement, the four cities will work closely together to promote cultural development and prosperity in East Asia through sustained cultural cooperation and close exchanges, and will jointly support the preparation and hosting of the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Tokyo in 2021 and the Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games in Beijing in 2022.
The “The Cultural City of East Asia” program was created based on an agreement reached at a meeting of ministers of culture from Japan, China, and South Korea in 2013. Every year one or two cities in each country are selected with the aim to develop their ties through culture and arts; those cities host a variety of cultural and artistic events to introduce traditional and modern arts and culture as well as different lifestyles to visitors.
