The Journey
Basilica di San Lorenzo & Medici Chapels
Discover the Basilica di San Lorenzo, the Medici family's church, and the opulent Medici Chapels, a dazzling display of Florentine power and artistic patronage. Explore the architectural genius of Brunelleschi, who designed the basilica, and marvel at the grandeur of the chapels, including the breathtaking Cappella dei Principi, a testament to the Medici's enduring legacy. This area provides a fascinating glimpse into the lives of one of history's most influential families.
Palazzo Medici Riccardi
Step into the courtyard of Palazzo Medici Riccardi, a stunning Renaissance palace that whispers tales of Florence's golden age. Originally commissioned by Cosimo de' Medici the Elder, this palace later passed into the hands of the Riccardi family, dignitaries of the Medici court, adding another layer to its rich history. Admire the palace's imposing facade, discover the hidden details within its courtyard, and imagine the lavish parties and political intrigues that once unfolded within its walls.
Piazza Duomo
Stand in awe at Piazza Duomo, the spiritual heart of Florence, dominated by the magnificent Duomo, also known as Santa Maria del Fiore. Marvel at Brunelleschi's groundbreaking Cupola, a feat of engineering and artistry that redefined Renaissance architecture. Admire the intricate facade of the cathedral, Giotto's Campanile, and the Baptistery's Gates of Paradise, immersing yourself in the artistic and religious significance of this iconic square.
Piazza della Signoria & Palazzo Vecchio
Immerse yourself in the political and artistic heart of Florence at Piazza della Signoria, home to the imposing Palazzo Vecchio. Explore the Palazzo Vecchio's museum to discover masterpieces of Renaissance art and gain insight into the city's history. Marvel at the sculptures in the piazza, including a copy of Michelangelo's David, and soak in the vibrant atmosphere of this bustling public space, where history and art come to life.
Uffizi Gallery (Exterior View)
Take a leisurely stroll to admire the exterior of the world-renowned Uffizi Gallery. Originally designed as offices (Uffizi means "offices" in Italian), this architectural masterpiece now houses one of the most impressive collections of Renaissance art. While the full experience requires a visit inside, appreciating the building's design and historical significance from the outside offers a taste of the artistic treasures it holds.
Ponte Vecchio
Cross the Ponte Vecchio, Florence's oldest and most iconic bridge, a charming landmark lined with shops built along it. Originally home to butchers, it is now occupied by jewelers and souvenir shops.
