The Journey
Piazza Santa Croce

Marvel at the Basilica's stunning Gothic architecture and intricate frescoes while learning about its profound significance in Florentine history and art. The piazza itself has hosted historical events and lively festivals, capturing the spirit of Florence over the centuries.
Ponte Vecchio
Journey towards the Ponte Vecchio, Florence's only bridge spared from destruction during World War II, and one of the most iconic bridges in the world. Lined with shops traditionally occupied by butchers, tanners, and later goldsmiths, it offers a unique visual and historical experience. Enjoy panoramic views of the Arno River and the surrounding Florentine hills. Your guide will introduce the history of the bridge and the hidden Vasari Corridor, built for the Medici family to cross the river unseen.
Piazza della Signoria
Step into Piazza della Signoria, the historical political heart of Florence. Admire the imposing Palazzo Vecchio, the city's town hall, and the Loggia dei Lanzi, an open-air sculpture gallery. Explore the square's magnificent sculptures, including a copy of Michelangelo's David and the Fountain of Neptune. Consider the Uffizi Gallery, once the offices of the Grand Dukes of Florence, before becoming one of the world's greatest art museums.
Piazza Duomo
Conclude your tour in Piazza Duomo, home to Florence's magnificent Cathedral, also known as the Duomo. The Piazza Duomo is full of artistic and architectural masterpieces. Gaze upon its breathtaking green and white marble facade and Brunelleschi's Dome, an architectural marvel of the Renaissance.
