About Florence
Florence's water story runs along the Arno, where the Ponte Vecchio arches frame one of the most photogenic stretches of river in Italy. You can paddle right beneath them on the Kayak Soft in Florence: Explore the Arno Under Ponte Vecchio, or trade the city current for the Ligurian coast on the Cinque Terre Day Trip from Florence with Boat Ride, which pairs a long day of travel with time on the water. Either way, the city rewards anyone willing to see it from river level rather than from the pavement.

Frequently asked questions
Florence is usually explored on foot, which means the Arno is something you cross rather than something you're on. A water experience flips that: you get the Ponte Vecchio and the riverside facades from below, at a slower pace and with far fewer people around you.
