About Florence
Florence is best understood from the water, where the Arno slides beneath the Ponte Vecchio and the city's stone facades rise straight from the banks. A half-day on the river turns a walking itinerary into something quieter and more memorable, whether you paddle a kayak through the arches or drift past them on a traditional boat. Travellers rate the Florence: Panoramic Rafting Tour of Ponte Vecchio & City Sights and the Kayak Soft in Florence: Explore the Arno Under Ponte Vecchio especially highly, both compact two-hour outings that fit easily into a morning or afternoon.

Frequently asked questions
A half-day on the Arno fits neatly around museum visits and meals, and it shows you Florence from an angle most visitors never see. Two-hour kayak, rafting and paddleboard outings run right under the Ponte Vecchio, while shorter barchetto cruises suit anyone who prefers to sit back and watch the banks drift past.
