• Duomo - Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore - The itinerary will guide visitors through the most stunning areas of Florence’s historic center. Dive into the rich history, art, and culture of Florence, exploring iconic landmarks along the journey. Marvel at the breathtaking Duomo, topped by Brunelleschi’s remarkable dome, and catch a glimpse of the cathedral’s renowned bell tower and baptistery in the soft evening glow.
• Piazza della Signoria - A visit to Florence is incomplete without stopping at the historic Piazza della Signoria, dominated by the impressive Palazzo Vecchio, the original site of Michelangelo’s David sculpture and the city’s power center for centuries. The Loggia dei Lanzi, meanwhile, is the world’s finest open-air sculpture gallery, providing a stunning insight into the artistic wonders of the Renaissance.
• Ponte Vecchio - Equally essential is the iconic Ponte Vecchio, possibly the world’s most photographed bridge. A bridge has spanned the Arno river here since the 10th century, and the charming medieval structure seen today was constructed in 1345. For centuries, fish-sellers, butchers, and leather artisans conducted their business along its length, making the Ponte one of the more rugged corners of the city. That is until a 16th-century Medici noble, displeased by the smell and noise from these trades, replaced them with the more refined goldsmith shops and jewelers that still line the bridge today. In Florence, intriguing historical stories are hidden in every brick and stone.
• Oltrarno - Discover the essentials of Florentine cuisine with the guide, and conclude the tour with a complimentary glass of wine at a charming enoteca in the lively Oltrarno neighborhood on the Arno’s southern bank. As the wine and conversation flow, visitors will be fully immersed in the city’s rhythms, ready to plan the rest of their Florence adventure!
