What's included in Florence in 1 Day: Walking Tour with Accademia & Uffizi Gallery
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Piazza del Duomo
Piazza del Duomo is the spiritual heart of Florence and the soul of its historic center, declared a Unesco World Heritage Site. The place where you can admire, in a single glance, some of the city's main monuments, in a concentration of history, art and beauty to make your head spin. Indeed, the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, with the Dome by Brunelleschi, the Bell Tower by Giotto and the Baptistery face each other here, surrounded by historic buildings and small- and large-sized museums
Basilica di San Lorenzo
The Basilica of San Lorenzo is one of the oldest churches in Florence, said to have been consecrated by St. Ambrose on Easter day, 393 CE, even though the building we see today dates to the mid-1400s upon a design by Brunelleschi. The fascinating façade-less church is no stranger to glory, and while it may not be home to the variety of illustrious burials one might find in Santa Croce
In the heart of the historic center, just a few steps away from Ponte Vecchio and Piazza della Signoria, you'll find one of the most characteristic points in all of Florence, the Loggia del Mercato Nuovo, or New Market.
