About Florence
Florence's water story runs right through the city centre, where the Arno slips beneath the Ponte Vecchio and the surrounding hills frame the river from above. You can paddle it yourself on the Kayak Soft in Florence: Explore the Arno Under Ponte Vecchio, or follow the water west to the Ligurian coast on the Cinque Terre Day Trip from Florence with Boat Ride, which pairs a scenic boat crossing with time in the villages. Both angles — the urban river and the sea beyond — are what make water the most rewarding way to see this part of Tuscany.

Frequently asked questions
On the Arno you see the city from river level, passing directly under the Ponte Vecchio arches and the bridges that walking tours only cross above. Kayak and rafting trips are short, guided and beginner-friendly, so you cover the historic centre in about two hours without traffic or crowds.
