Activity itinerary

Piazza di Santa Maria Novella

A sunlit piazza where Florence begins. Markets buzz, history lingers, and the marble façade of Santa Maria Novella rises beside you. This is where the Medici storey and the Renaissance quietly take root.

Piazza di San Lorenzo

A plain façade hides powerful stories. Stand beside San Lorenzo as the Medici dome rises behind, and a quiet piazza hums with life, guiding you towards the next piece of Florence’s past.

Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore

15m
Admission ticket included

Florence at its most breathtaking. Stand in Piazza del Duomo, where marble, masterpieces, and Brunelleschi’s daring dome come together on the grandest stage of the Renaissance.

Piazza della Repubblica

A square rebuilt, a past erased. Stand in Florence’s “new” heart, where Roman roots, vanished streets, and Medici stories collide, and a frightened girl’s fate would reshape Europe.

Basilica of Santa Croce

A square of stories and second chances. In Santa Croce, Florence honours its greatest minds, even the ones it once cast out, where power, genius, and legacy stand side by side.

Museo Fondazione Franco Zeffirelli Onlus

Piazza San Firenze, framed by the Baroque façade of Fondazione Franco Zeffirelli Onlus, where history shifted from medieval church to courthouse and now a cultural tribute to Zeffirelli’s theatrical legacy.

Palazzo Vecchio

Piazza della Signoria, centred by Fountain of Neptune and facing the fortress-like Palazzo Vecchio, whose towering stone walls and rising tower signal power, history, and the political heart of Florence.

Piazza della Signoria

Piazza della Signoria, surrounded by landmarks like the Fountain of Neptune and the towering Palazzo Vecchio, where layers of political history, public spectacle, and Renaissance art unfold in one open-air stage.

Loggia dei Lanzi

Loggia dei Lanzi stands open like a stage of stone, filled with dramatic sculptures under sweeping arches. Just beside it, Palazzo Vecchio rises like a fortress, pulsing with centuries of Medici power and Florence’s political history.

Uffizi Galleries

Uffizi Gallery opens into a columned corridor where statues line the arches and figures like Galileo and Machiavelli watch your path. The walk leads to the Arno River, revealing a striking first glimpse of Florence’s historic heart flowing just beyond.

Ponte Vecchio

Ponte Vecchio glows at dusk above the Arno, its jewelry-lined shops and Vasari Corridor creating a floating street of gold and history. One of Florence’s oldest bridges, it survived war, reinvention, and time, now pulsing with life and quiet spectacle.

Piazza De' Pitti

Palazzo Pitti rises in bold stone with a vast courtyard that reflects Medici ambition turned residence. Once a rival’s dream, it became a grand ducal palace, blending power, art, and history before opening into the serene, layered landscapes of the Boboli Gardens.
