Overview

Departure from Rome to Florence, the “Cradle of the Renaissance”, in minivan (no more 6-7 people) with air conditioning for a full day private tour. Florence is noted for its culture, Renaissance art and architecture and monuments such as Palazzo Vecchio, the Church of San Lorenzo, Santa Maria del Fiore (built by Brunelleschi). The nearby Campanile (designed by Giotto) and the Baptistery are also highlights. But Florence is also an important city for Italian fashion, being one of the 15 fashion capitals of the world. Have all day for yourself to do what you prefer to do. For lunch, you have many options such as bars, typical restaurants, pizzerias but the most famous dish in Florence is the Florentine steak with good red wine. Let yourself be guided by the tour assistant for shopping, eating, sightseeing and everything will be easier.

Piazza della Signoria

Piazza della Signoria has been at the center of Florence's political life since the 14th century. The Square has seen important historical events and great triumphs take place, such as the return of the Medici in 1530. The famous sculptures located in Piazza della Signoria have references to the political events of Florence. The David (the original is located in the Accademia Gallery) was created by Michelangelo and positioned in front of Palazzo Vecchio to symbolize the power of the Florentine Republic in contrast with the tyranny of the Medici. Hercules and Cacus (1534) by Bandinelli instead symbolizes the physical power of the family.

Ponte Vecchio

Built near a Roman-era crossing, the Ponte Vecchio was until 1218 the only bridge that crossed the Arno in Florence. Above Ponte Vecchio you can see a part of the beautiful Vasari Corridor. This corridor, built in 1565 by Giorgio Vasari, passes just above the goldsmith shops that currently stand on either side of the bridge. Commissioned by the Medici, it allowed them to move from Palazzo Vecchio to Palazzo Pitti without having to cross the streets of Florence, in complete safety. At the time of the construction of the Corridor, the butchers' shops were gathered on the Ponte Vecchio, whose activity probably disturbed the passage of the Medici, who in 1593 had them moved, replacing them with the more "decorous" goldsmith shops.
