Attractions
There are several attractions in the Florence area you might like to visit. Our attractions also fall into the historic sites category, which has an even larger listing (some sites are not necessarily "attractions"). We also have a large list of historic markers around Florence. While all of the historic markers could qualify as a historic site, often there is nothing other than a marker left to see.
