Florence (Italian; Firenze, Florentia and Fiorenza) is the capital city of the Italian region of Tuscany, and of the province of Florence. The city lies on the Arno River and is known for its history and its importance in the Middle Ages and in the Renaissance, especially for its art and architecture. A centre of medieval European trade and finance, the city is often considered the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance; in fact, it has been called the Athens of the Middle Ages.[1] It was long under the de facto rule of the Medici family. From 1865 to 1870 the city was also the capital of the Kingdom of Italy. The “historic centre of Florence” continues to attract millions of tourists each year and was declared a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO in 1982. Almost all of Hotel Florence is very comfortable with reasonable price. Want to know more about Italy?? just arrange your holiday to go to Italy.

France, one of beautiful Countries in Europe. A country which is located in western Europe. Talking about France, we couldn’t talk about wine. France is the best wine’s producer in the world. Most of best wine is produced in France especially in Bordeaux. In France there is special thing which we couldn’t miss it when we travel to, Their Architecture. There is, technically speaking, no architecture named French Architecture, although that has not always been true. Gothic Architecture’s old name was French Architecture (or Opus Francigenum). The term “Gothic” appeared later as a stylistic insult and was widely adopted. Northern France is the home of some of the most important Gothic cathedrals and basilicas, the first of these being the Saint Denis Basilica (used as the royal necropolis); other important French Gothic cathedrals are Notre-Dame de Chartres and Notre-Dame d’Amiens. The kings were crowned in another important Gothic church: Notre-Dame de Reims. Aside from churches, Gothic Architecture had been used for many religious palaces, the most important one being the Palais des Papes in Avignon. Paris as France’s capital city also have gothic architecture. for example their hotel. So when we visit Paris, most of Hotel Paris has Gothic architecture. In Paris, there is also Eiffel Tower, one of seven wonders in the world. Eiffel Tower is one of France photos. So will be interesting to visit France when spending our holiday.
