The Journey
Piazza del Duomo
Immerse yourself in the heart of Florence at Piazza del Duomo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to the magnificent Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore (the Duomo). Marvel at Brunelleschi's iconic dome, ascend Giotto's Campanile for panoramic city views, explore the Baptistery with its stunning bronze doors, and delve into the Cathedral Museum to uncover centuries of Florentine artistry and religious history. This is the epicenter of Florence's artistic and spiritual heritage.
Piazza della Repubblica
Step back in time at Piazza della Repubblica, the vibrant heart of Florence. Once the site of the Roman Forum and later a medieval marketplace, this square now exudes Belle Époque charm with its grand cafes and elegant architecture. Imagine the bustling activity of centuries past as you stroll through this historic space.
Wine Window
Discover a unique Florentine tradition: the 'wine windows.' These small openings in walls, dating back to the 17th century, were originally used to sell wine directly to customers. Seek out these quirky historical features scattered throughout the city and perhaps even find one still in use for a truly authentic experience.
Ponte Santa Trinita
Cross the Arno River on Ponte Santa Trinita, considered one of the world's most beautiful bridges. Admire its elegant elliptical arches and the stunning views it offers of the Ponte Vecchio. Capture the perfect photo of this architectural masterpiece, especially enchanting at sunset.
Oltrarno
Venture across the Arno River to the Oltrarno district, a vibrant neighborhood brimming with artisan workshops, leather shops, and traditional trattorias. Experience the authentic Florentine atmosphere away from the main tourist crowds and discover hidden gems around every corner.
Pitti Palace
Admire the grandeur of the Pitti Palace, the former residence of the Medici family and a symbol of Florentine power. Though you might view it from the outside, appreciate its imposing facade and imagine the lavish lifestyle of the rulers who once called it home. The palace houses several museums displaying an impressive collection of Renaissance art and treasures.
Ponte Vecchio
Walk across the iconic Ponte Vecchio, Florence's only bridge spared from destruction during World War II. Marvel at the shops built along the bridge, once occupied by butchers but now home to jewelers, art dealers, and souvenir sellers. This medieval marvel offers a unique glimpse into Florence's history and a chance to find a special keepsake.
Piazzale Michelangelo
Ascend to Piazzale Michelangelo for the most breathtaking panoramic view of Florence. Capture the city's iconic skyline, including the Duomo, Palazzo Vecchio, and Ponte Vecchio. Before reaching the Piazzale, wander through the enchanting Rose Garden, a fragrant oasis offering another perspective of the city.
Ponte alle Grazie
Cross the Arno River via Ponte alle Grazie, a bridge with a history of resilience. Originally built in 1237, it was destroyed during World War II and meticulously reconstructed after 1945. Today, it offers picturesque views and stands as a testament to Florence's enduring spirit.
Piazza Santa Croce
Visit Piazza Santa Croce, one of Florence's main squares and home to the Basilica di Santa Croce. This Franciscan church houses the tombs of prominent Italians, including Michelangelo, Galileo, and Machiavelli. Admire the square's architecture and soak in the historical significance of this central gathering place.
Piazza della Signoria
Discover Piazza della Signoria, a splendid open-air museum in front of the Palazzo Vecchio. Admire the Loggia dei Lanzi, housing impressive sculptures, and the Fountain of Neptune. This square has been the center of Florentine political life for centuries and is a must-see for any visitor.
Dante's Museum
Delve into the life and works of the legendary poet Dante Alighieri at Dante's Museum in Florence. Located in the heart of the city, this tiny museum is dedicated to the author of the Divine Comedy. Explore exhibits that showcase Dante's literary contributions and his impact on Florentine culture.
