The city's inventiveness,
initiative, and originality have always been a source of attraction
for international conference tourism. Now, the Firenze Convention
Bureau makes it easier to meet the demands of expansion and
development of the congress business.
No other city in the world can offer such modern, efficient
and impressive conference premises in such a suggestive and
appealing urban setting.
The fact that within few minutes of a short and pleasant walk,
delegates can move from their work setting to the majestic architecture
of Piazza della Signoria is absolutly priceless.
In Florence, magic happens also when the conference delegates
finish their working day. Outside, the city is a marvelous open
air museum where there is always something new and different
to be discovered in any season. The historical district, near
the conference site, is a lively stage with a backdrop of stately
Renaissance palaces and churches and picturesque piazzas.

The old cafés,
where many celebrities of Italian and foreign culture have sipped
coffee, still welcome their guests with grace and elegance as
reflected even in their period furniture and exquisite pastries.
Flourishing artisan "bottegas" in the old district
still use traditional techniques to make silver, leather and
ceramics of great artistry, while the large San Lorenzo outdoor
market offers an extraordinary array of typical products.
In the Santa Croce district, with its lovely piazza, scene of
the historical Ciompi uprising, a small but enticing flea market
is the place to discover many unusual second-hand and antique
objects.

Musical and theatrical
events fill the Florentine evenings and nights.
Besides the seasonal repertory company the city boasts many
traditionally important festivals such as the Maggio Musicale
Fiorentino and the Estate Fiesolana which is staged in the beautiful
Roman Theater in Fiesole. |

Every season is perfect
to a full enjoyment of Florence and Tuscany's beauty, in fact,
weather is favorable all year round.
