Florence 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 and was long ruled by the Medici family. The Segway tour and Cruiser Bike Tour are the most appropriate to visit the entire historical center in less time then simply walking, from the Dome of Brunelleschi to the Uffizi Gallery, from the Belly Button of Florence, the modern Republic Square, to the unique square of Santa Croce.
