Italy is undoubtedly one of the most visited countries in the world, but the different regions of the country are vastly different from one another. Although Venice remains on the bucket lists of travelers all over the world, it is the Tuscany region that is most prized among those that have traveled to Italy.
Florence is the capital of the region and remains a growing part of the country.
The city of Florence consumes a total surface area of approximately 102.4 square kilometers (about 39.5 square miles). Considering the 2016 population of 383,083 individuals, the population density comes to about 3,700 individuals residing per square kilometer (9,700 per square mile).
