Florence Highlights… not to be missed!

Florence is one of a kind. It is in fact the birthplace of the Renaissance and the best way to get familiar with this fascinating city is by walking the ancient cobblestone streets and letting the city surprise you.

In this tour, we start at the Repubblica square, heart of the city and meeting spot of the locals. Then, we proceed to the Duomo Square. Here you will be amazed by the Baptistry and its bronze doors and by the giant Duomo, which includes the magnificent Brunelleschi dome. Be prepared as this is a busy place, full of tourists, horses and vendors, but it is also one of the most famous squares in Italy. After visiting the old and famous Mercato Centrale, main food market in town, we continue along narrow medieval alleys and small piazzas until we reach Signoria square, where the massive medieval Palazzo Vecchio, the Old Palace, still houses the local government. Sitting inside the Loggia dei Lanzi we will talk about the old governments and their symbols. In this beautiful open-air gallery we have the chance to admire the original statues around us, like Perseus and The Rape of the Sabine Women, among others. The tour would not be complete without one of Florence’s landmarks,  Ponte Vecchio, which literary means Old Bridge. It dates back to 1345 and is filled with picturesque small constructions that up to this day host almost forty luxurious jewellery shops.
