Florence is literally dotted with architectural wonders and works of art. On our tour, we will admire firsthand the sites and monuments that have made Florence one of the most visited destinations in the world.
To start our tour, we will head to Republica Square, one of the most elegant and historically important “piazzas” in Florence, overflowing with refined cafés and luxury shopping. Follow our guide through the characteristic streets and picturesque alleys until you reach loggia del mercago nuovo, where our guide will demonstrate a symbol of good luck by caressing the nose of the famous porcellino (wild boar) bronce statue. Right around the corner, our guide will lead us to the intriguing Ponte Vecchio, a true icon of the city. This bridge is famous for its exclusive jewelry stores, unique structure, and for being the only bridge spared during the bombings during the Second World War.
Then, follow our guide to "Accadenua deu Georgofili" and Uffizi Square, where we will discover the heart of Florence. This true open-air museum is dominated by the imposing Palazzo Vecchio and the magnificent Loggia dei Lanzi, home to fascinating statues such as Perseus by Cellini and the Rat of the Sabine Women by Giambologna. Our visit will lead to San San Giovanni Square, home of the wonderful Florence Cathedral and Brunelleschi´s Dome, as well as the Baptistery and Giotto's Bell Tower.
Once we finish the tour we will have free time for a light lunch and we will present ourselves at the indicated meeting point to begin our walk to the Accademia and Uffizi Galleries. Our tour guide will reveal the secrets of this Renaissance treasure trove at the Accademy Gallery ; learn all about the creation of Michelangelo’s world renowned masterpieces, such as the original version of “David,” his unfinished “I Prigioni”, and “San Matteo.” We will discover that he was not only a sculptor, but also a painter, an architect and a sensitive poet. After that, we will enjoy a little break and get ready for the second part of this tour to discover the most beautiful museums in Florence.
