The historical center of Florence is Piazza Della Signoria, where you will find gorgeous and well-maintained structures such as Palazzo Vecchio (old city hall), Tribunale Della Mercanzia (The old Tribunal of Merchandise), and Michelangelo’s statue of David.

At the square, there are many restaurants and cafes where you can have a taste of Tuscany’s famous cuisine. If you are on a budget, you can get a gelato and sit on a bench or walk a few blocks to Ponte Vecchio for an amazing sunset view over the river.

The Santa Maria Duomo cathedral is another place worth a visit. This huge Gothic cathedral will give you goose-bumps as you make your way in.

If you’re up for a little exercise, try climbing the 414 stairs leading to the top of the Campanile- Bell tower!

Last but not the least, you can find the best paintings and art from the renaissance at the Galleria Degli Uffizi. Ancient sculptures, medieval, and modern art made by legendary artists such as Michelangelo, Giotto, Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael are found at the gallery.

TESOL Gdansk

Gdansk Waterfront

Gdansk is very different from other Polish cities because it has a rich maritime history that dates back to the 7th century.

Poland has experienced many drastic changes throughout the 20th century, but its most beautiful sites remain the Town Hall, the Medieval Port, the Main Town (Reconstructed after WWII), and the Green Gate.

As Poland moved towards capitalism in the early 1990’s, Gdansk has attracted major IT and finance businesses to an economy that has been majorly dominated by industries in the energy and shipbuilding sectors. As a result, the demand for teachers with a reputable TESOL certificate has been on the rise. Poland is one of the few European countries that welcomes native-English speakers who do not have a EU citizenship, and is especially welcoming to TESOL graduates from Canada and USA.
