The tour starts at the most emblematic icon of Florence, the 14th-century Florence Cathedral. The looming red dome of the magnificent church which was once the world’s largest has become the symbol of Florence, crowning the city’s beautiful skyline. Indulge your eyes with an abundance of ornate bas-reliefs depicting centuries of history and biblical scenes on its external walls made of striking green, red, and white marble.
Right opposite the church stands the oldest temple in Florence, the 12th-century Baptistery of St. John. The Italian Romanesque gem built in a simplistic octagonal shape stuns any passer-by with its bronze doors intricately carved by the most famous sculptures and goldsmiths at the time.
Continue to join the most popular pedestrian street in Florence, Calzaiuoli Street. The vibrant shopping haven with an elegant touch of period architecture offers great chances to watch meandering tourists and glittering window displays of international brands.
