Why Take A Gap Year in Florence?

Florence gap years translate to la bella vita…which translates (slightly) to “the beautiful life.” Studying art in the birthplace of the Renaissance is a decision we definitely support. Did you know Florence was the residence of the Medici royalty? So checking out the history in this city might be worthwhile, too. Au pair-ing is an option for those looking to experience Italy alongside a local family while also making some spending euros on the side.

Whether you’re there for art or not, you must stop by the Uffizi Gallery at least once (but probably twice, or three times), showcasing its medieval artwork since the 1700s. Michelangelo's David is also a must-see—you know, that little guy that beat Goliath? Well, the sculpture version is not so little, and you won’t want to miss it.
