Tuscany was the birthplace of the Renaissance, and this guide directs you to its finest artistic treasures. For travellers who appreciate the visual arts, no other guide can compete with DK's hundreds of colour photographs and its unique 3-D aerial view illustrations, which accompany an extremely informative text. With four chapters dedicated to Florence alone, and five chapters on the surrounding regions of Tuscany, this guide has earned a place as one of the highlights of this award-winning series.

Amsterdam is one of Europe's great cities of art, and this guidebook is a work of art in itself. The Eyewitness 3-D aerial views are the perfect aid to exploring Amsterdam's canals and squares, while cutaways and floorplans ensure you don't miss anything in the major museums and churches. The guide also provides a wide-ranging selection of restaurants, shops and nightlife venues. And it covers day-trip destinations such as Haarlem, Delft, the Hague and Alkmaar.

Describes the highlights of each part of the city, and recommends hotels, shops, art galleries, churches, theaters, bars, and restaurants.
