♡ Save
Discover the soul of Florence with this unique tour through the alleyways of the Renaissance. From the Duomo to Ponte Vecchio, we unveil the secrets of the Medici and the magic of an open-air museum. An authentic experience in the heart of the cradle of art.
Join us on a journey into the heart of the Renaissance, beginning with the elegance of Via Tornabuoni and the perfection of Palazzo Strozzi. We will continue by admiring the magnificence of the Odeon Theater, a true 20th-century jewel steeped in history, before arriving at Piazza della Repubblica, the vibrant heart of the city.
The tour will take us to the majestic Piazza del Duomo, where Brunelleschi's Dome celebrates the genius protected and financed by the Medici vision. After strolling through the alleys of the Dante Alighieri Quarter, we will enter the heart of Medici power in Piazza della Signoria, dominated by the majestic Palazzo Vecchio.
Skirting the treasures of the Uffizi, we will unveil the secrets of the Vasari Corridor, the Grand Dukes' private passageway that rises above the golden Ponte Vecchio.
