Perché Firenze – Firenze Convention Bureau – la divisione MICE del Destination Florence CVB

Why Florence

the convention bureau as the only point of reference in the city

In the heart of Italy

An exhilarating citywith a dramatic history which has been carried on with new energy: the one that comes from the awareness of being a European centre that develops its entrepreneurial potential under the eyes of the world. It’san open-air museum, able to offer a different and fascinating show in every season. The historic centre, which is very close to the congress venues, is a stage, surrounded by the Renaissance architecture of noble palaces, squares and churches.

For centuries, millions of intellectuals, pioneers, traders and artisans have been passing through Florence with the desire to stay, leaving their works as a gift. The Renaissance marked the beginning of this synergy between the city and its visitors. Its evolution, nowadays, is defined as quality congress tourism, for which delegates specialized in the most varied and fundamental disciplines, come from all over the world in search of a stimulating, amazing and above all tailor made experience.

Florence welcomes delegates in modern and efficient congress venues perfectly positioned in the historic centre. A few steps and a few minutes connect the venues to the best hotels, the central station and also to Amerigo Vespucci airport, now easily accessible by tram. Once work is over, the delegate can transform their time into a magical tourist experience.

An open-air museum surrounded by the Chianti hills; Florence is home to nothing but wonder.
