PREFERENCE EVENTS, an events agency, will share its passion for Italy with you by organising your tailor-made seminar, board meeting, press trip or incentive trip to Florence.
A museum city, a jewel among the Tuscan cities, the cradle of the Renaissance thanks to the support and funding of the powerful Medici family and Florentine artists such as Giotto, Fra Angelico, Michelangelo, Botticelli and Leonardo da Vinci, Florence boasts a rich cultural and architectural heritage.
A cultural destination par excellence and a UNESCO World Heritage Site in its entirety, Florence will captivate the guests of your seminar or incentive trip with its many architectural treasures, making it one of Italy’s most beautiful cities alongside Rome and Venice. The Ponte Vecchio, the Galleria dell’Accademia, the Uffizi Gallery, the Duomo, the Basilica of Santa Croce and the Pitti Palace are just some of the marvels to be discovered during an incentive event or VIP trip.
A trip to Florence also allows you to discover Tuscany, with its rolling countryside, the wine-growing hills of Chianti, a superb region where you can sample many of Italy’s great vintages, its medieval villages and castles, and the cities of Pisa and Siena.
Florence is a pleasant city in the evening, with a multitude of streets lined with bars and restaurants. Night owls will even find a few nightclubs to party in, although the must-do for your incentive trip or team-building seminar in Florence is to organise a prestigious evening in one of the city’s palaces.
Florence can be discovered on its own as part of the organisation of a corporate event or combined with a Tuscany tour for an exceptional trip for a small VIP group.

Florence is often relegated to second place after Rome and Venice when it comes to choosing a destination in Italy for a corporate event. It’s true that hotels there are expensive, but the city alone contains 25% of Italy’s World Heritage sites! What’s more, it’s a must for exploring the surrounding Tuscany and the superb wine-growing landscapes of the Chianti region.
