By Jessica | August 2nd, 2010 Florence may be known as the birthplace of the Renaissance, but in the 21st century it’s gone high-tech.

Well, at least the travel guides to Florence and Tuscany have gone somewhat high-tech. In addition to the more general Italy travel guides you can find available for the iPhone these days, there are also a host of Tuscany and Florence iPhone apps that make great travel companions for anyone visiting this most popular Italian region. Before anyone can ask, I’d like to point out that yes, Florence is the capital city of the region called Tuscany.

You may very well be visiting only Florence and not venturing out into the countryside at all, but some of the Tuscany iPhone apps include information that’s applicable to Florence as well. >> As is the case with the lists I’ve made on Rome iPhone Apps and Venice iPhone Apps, I’m not going to include apps on this list that are more generally about the Italian language or traveling through Italy. Italia!

This summer, I’ll be ticking off gorgeous European islands and coastal towns off my travel list. I’ve always had a thing for coastal towns: craggy shoreline, charming houses poised on cliff tops and plundering azul waves.
