Itinerary

1. 1

   Piazza di Santa Croce

   Pass by

   After meeting with your guide in Piazza Santa Croce, you begin the walking tour learning important facts about the wonderful Basilica.

2. 2

   Ponte Vecchio

   2h

   You'll pass by the “Porcellino” (little pig) market on the way to the Ponte Vecchio, dating to the 1300s and one of the most recognized bridges in the world. The bridge affords a wonderful vista of the hills that surround Florence and your guide will tell you the history of the bridge and the Vasari Corridor.

3. 3

   Piazza della Signoria

   2h

   It is then on to what was the political centre of Renaissance Florence, Piazza della Signoria. The offices of the Grand Duke’s of Florence were once housed in the building that is now the Uffizi Gallery museum and  the seat of the Florentine government was on the opposite side of the square in the Palazzo Vecchio.

4. 4

   Piazza Del Duomo

   2h

   Then follows a stroll through the oldest part of the city to see the tower houses that date from the 1300s. Finally you reach Piazza Duomo where you can gaze upon Florence’s magnificent Cathedral with its striking green and white marble.  Crowned by Brunelleschi’s dome, a masterpiece of architectural achievement both for design and realization, the cathedral and its dome are enduring symbols of Renaissance Florence. The visit ends before the Porta dei Paradiso, the wonderfully decorated doors of the Bapistery. We are sure you will enjoy this splendid walking tour of Florence and like many tourists before fall hopelessly in love with the city and its people.
