Overview

Travel through the rich history and culture of Florence, the magnificent city etched with its glory past, vibrant present, and timeless art, by marvelling at the intriguing bas-reliefs created by the greatest Italian artists of all time at Florence Cathedral, which was once the largest church in the world, and Baptistery of St. John, rubbing the nose of the emblematic bronze monument of a wild boar in the 16th-century Loggia of the New Market for some luck, indulging your senses in the mind-blowing sculptural feast at the vibrant central Signoria Square, browsing through back-to-back rustic jewellery boutiques overhanging the 14th-century Old Bridge, and savouring the hearty Florentine cuisine at Sant'Ambrogio Market.
