Your Itinerary

Piazza Santa Croce

A licensed expert guide will lead you on a fascinating walking tour through the streets and piazzas of Florence, a tour that will trace the history of the city, and in particular the times of the Renaissance through the numerous important monuments that line its route.

Palazzo Strozzi

At the Palazzo Strozzi you’ll be amazed by the perfectly preserved courtyard, before discovering the less known, but nonetheless incredible Palazzo Davanzati, a great example of a Medieval Palace.

Palazzo Vecchio

Passing by the famous "Porcellino" (little pig) market, you'll reach the Ponte Vecchio, the oldest bridge in Florence, dating back to the 1300s. While marveling at the breathtaking views of the surrounding hills, participate in an informative discussion of the history of the bridge, and the unique Vasari Corridor that drastically altered the shops located on the bridge.

Piazza della Signoria

Next, the tour moves on to Piazza della Signoria - the political hub of the city.

Ponte Vecchio

The Uffizi Gallery, formerly the offices of the Grand Duke, is situated on one side of the piazza and on the other side, Palazzo Vecchio formerly the seat of the Florentine government.

Piazza del Duomo

Following a pleasant walk through one of the oldest parts of the city, home to stunning tower houses from the 1300s, you'll arrive at Piazza Duomo where you’ll have a perfect view of the Duomo (Cathedral of Florence) that still has its original marble decoration and is crowned by Brunelleschi's dome, an architectural triumph and a symbol of the Florentine Renaissance, both for its bold design and also the feat of engineering. The tour ends at the Baptistery, where you can see the brilliant Porta del Paradiso – which took Ghiberti 27 years to complete - along with Giotto's bell tower, an excellent example of 12th Century architecture. We are sure you will fall in love with Florence, and ask your guide for recommendations to make the most of the rest of your stay.
