The Journey
Ponte Vecchio
Step back in time as you stroll across the Ponte Vecchio, Florence's only bridge spared from destruction during World War II. Marvel at the shops built along it, a tradition dating back to the 13th century. Originally home to butchers, they were later replaced by goldsmiths, creating the glittering display of jewelry shops you see today. Experience the romance of Florence as you admire the Arno River flowing beneath you, particularly stunning at sunset.
Galleria dell'Accademia
Enter the Galleria dell'Accademia to stand in the presence of Michelangelo's David, a symbol of Florentine strength and artistic genius. Beyond David, the Accademia houses an impressive collection of paintings by Florentine artists, mostly from the period 1300–1600, offering a comprehensive look at Florentine art history. Immerse yourself in the world of Renaissance sculpture and painting within these hallowed halls.
Piazza della Signoria
Immerse yourself in Florentine political history at Piazza della Signoria, the city's main public square for centuries. Admire the imposing Palazzo Vecchio, Florence's town hall, and the Loggia dei Lanzi, an open-air sculpture gallery housing masterpieces like Perseus with the Head of Medusa. Feel the pulse of Florence as you witness the vibrant energy of this historic gathering place, still used for events and celebrations today.
Florence Cathedral (Duomo)
Gaze in awe at the Florence Cathedral, also known as the Duomo, a magnificent example of Gothic architecture. Climb to the top of Brunelleschi's Dome for panoramic views of Florence, or descend into the crypt to explore the remains of the ancient Basilica di Santa Reparata. Experience the spiritual and artistic heart of Florence in this architectural masterpiece.
Florence Baptistery
Marvel at the Florence Baptistery, one of the oldest buildings in Florence, renowned for its stunning bronze doors. Admire Ghiberti's Gates of Paradise, a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture depicting scenes from the Old Testament. Step inside to witness the intricate mosaic ceiling, a testament to the enduring artistry of Florentine craftsmanship.
Giotto's Bell Tower
Ascend Giotto's Campanile, a soaring Gothic bell tower offering breathtaking views of Florence.
