Activity itinerary

Piazza della Repubblica

  • 10m
Piazza della Repubblica: Start in the city’s Roman heart. Once the site of the ancient forum, it is now a elegant square famous for its historic cafés and grand triumphal arch.

Piazza del Duomo

  • 15m
The Duomo: Marvel at the green and white marble facade of Santa Maria del Fiore. We’ll discuss the engineering genius of Brunelleschi’s Dome from the best vantage points in the square.

Piazza di San Lorenzo

  • 15m
Step into the vibrant heart of the Medici family’s legacy. We’ll admire the rugged, unfinished facade of the Basilica of San Lorenzo while uncovering the history of the powerful dynasty that transformed Florence. From the bustling square, you'll learn about the hidden gems within the Medici Chapels and the architectural evolution of one of the city's oldest and most influential districts.

Palazzo Medici Riccardi (Pass by)

Behold the birthplace of the Renaissance palace. We’ll admire the striking contrast of the rusticated stone facade and learn how this fortress-like residence became the ultimate blueprint for noble living in 15th-century Florence. Standing outside its massive gates, we’ll trace the footsteps of Cosimo the Elder and Lorenzo the Magnificent in the very spot where the Medici golden age began.

Museo Nazionale del Bargello (Pass by)

Gaze upon the crenelated towers of the Bargello, Florence’s oldest public building. Originally a medieval fortress and prison, the rugged stone of the Bargello Palace now stands as a temple of Renaissance sculpture. From the historic courtyard, we’ll dive into its dark past as the city’s headquarters of justice and admire its transition from a defensive stronghold to a treasure trove of art.

Piazza Santa Croce

  • 15m
Santa Croce square: Conclude at the "Temple of Italian Glories," the final resting place of Michelangelo, Galileo, and Machiavelli, known for its stunning Gothic architecture.

Piazza della Signoria

  • 15m
Piazza della Signoria: Explore this "open-air sculpture gallery." Stand before the replica of Michelangelo’s David and the imposing Palazzo Vecchio, the seat of Florentine power.

Gallerie Degli Uffizi (Pass by)

Uffizi Gallery (Exterior): Walk through the grand Uffizi courtyard, admiring the statues of Great Florentines that line the portico of one of the world’s oldest museums.

Ponte Vecchio

  • 10m
Stroll across the iconic arches of Ponte Vecchio, the oldest and most famous bridge in Florence. We’ll admire the glimmering gold and jewelry shop windows that have lined this historic crossing for centuries and discuss the secret Vasari Corridor that runs hidden above our heads. From the central balcony of Ponte Vecchio, you’ll capture the most breathtaking views of the Arno river and learn how this medieval structure survived the floods and wars of history.

Palazzo Pitti (Pass by)

Cross the Arno to witness the sheer scale of Palazzo Pitti, the final and most grand residence of the Medici Grand Dukes. We’ll admire the rhythmic, golden-stone arches of its immense facade and discuss how this monumental palace became a symbol of absolute power. From the vast sloping square, you’ll discover how Palazzo Pitti served as the gateway to the Boboli Gardens and the center of courtly life in Renaissance Florence.
