No stranger to visitors, Florence is equipped with hotels for all budgets; for instance, you can find both budget and luxury hotels in the centro storico (historic center) and along the Arno. Florence has so many famous landmarks that it's not hard to find lodging with a panoramic vista. The equivalent of the genteel pensioni of yesteryear still exist, though they are now officially classified as hotels. Usually small and intimate, they often have a quaint appeal that usually doesn't preclude modern plumbing.
