The Journey
Central Florence
Step into the heart of the Italian Renaissance in Central Florence, a district that pulsates with history and culture. From the 1500s, this area flourished into a European powerhouse under the Medici rulers, defying plagues and famines that crippled neighboring cities. Today, it stands as a living museum, where every corner tells a story of art, power, and enlightenment, making it an essential visit for any traveler seeking to immerse themselves in the vibrant past of this iconic city.
Florence Cathedral (Duomo)
Marvel at the architectural grandeur of Florence's Cathedral, officially the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, or Duomo. This monumental landmark, initiated in 1296 on the site of the ancient Cathedral of Santa Reparata, dominates the city's skyline. Witness the ingenuity of its iconic dome and the intricate details of its facade, a testament to the resilience and artistry of Florence. Though the interior remains a wonder, simply admiring the exterior reveals centuries of history and artistic evolution, offering a captivating glimpse into the city's rich heritage.
Ponte Vecchio
Cross the Ponte Vecchio, Florence’s only bridge to survive World War II, and step back in time. Originally home to butchers whose scraps polluted the river, the bridge was transformed by Cosimo de Medici, who, disgusted by the stench, commissioned Vasari to build a suspended walkway to Pitti Palace. Goldsmiths replaced the butchers, turning it into a glittering arcade of shops. Walking across the Ponte Vecchio today is a unique sensory experience, where the sparkle of gold mixes with the echoes of history, making it a must-see for any visitor.
Roman Theater of Florence
Unearth the ancient roots of Florence at the site of its Roman Theater, dating back to around 150 AD during the city's time as Florentia. Once capable of seating 8,000-10,000 spectators, this theater, built into a natural slope, was a hub of entertainment and culture. Though abandoned by the 500s and later built over, its rediscovery in 1875 offers a fascinating glimpse into Florence's Roman past. Explore the remains of this ancient venue and imagine the spectacles that once unfolded here, connecting you to the city's enduring legacy.
Pisa
Discover Pisa, a historic city gracefully situated on the banks of the Arno River near its mouth at Marina di Pisa. This vibrant Tuscan city is globally renowned for its iconic symbol: the Leaning Tower. Beyond the tower, Pisa offers a wealth of cultural treasures and architectural marvels. Wander through its charming streets, soak in the lively atmosphere, and experience the unique blend of history and beauty that makes Pisa a captivating destination.
Leaning Tower of Pisa
Visit the Leaning Tower of Pisa, or “Torre Pendente di Pisa,” an unforgettable symbol of Italy located in the heart of Pisa's Piazza dei Miracoli. Construction began in 1173, and the tower soon began to tilt. Today, it stands at 55.86 meters tall, weighing approximately 14,700 tons, with an inclination of about 4 degrees. Saved from collapse through extensive engineering efforts, the tower reopened to the public in 2001. Experience the wonder of this architectural marvel and capture the perfect photo at this UNESCO World Heritage site.
Pisa Baptistery
Explore the awe-inspiring Pisa Baptistery, the largest in Italy, boasting a circumference of 107.24 meters and walls 2.63 meters thick. Its dome is clad with red tiles on the side facing the sea and lead sheets on the east. Visit this monumental structure and marvel at its architectural grandeur, a testament to the artistry and engineering of its time. The Baptistery offers a serene and reflective space, allowing you to appreciate the rich history and cultural significance of this remarkable landmark.
Pisa Cathedral
Visit Pisa Cathedral, founded in 1064 and consecrated in 1118, a masterpiece of Romanesque architecture. Built in two stages by architects Buscheto and Rainaldo, the Cathedral features a basilican body with four aisles and a nave, a transept with one nave and two aisles, and a dome on the cross vault. Despite a devastating fire in 1595, the Cathedral has been meticulously restored, showcasing its intricate details and vast decorative plan. Experience the spiritual and artistic significance of this historic site, an enduring symbol of Pisa's cultural heritage.
