Overview

Florence part of one of the most beautiful city in the world, the list of the artists associated with this city is endless: Giotto, Donatello, Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo. Because it's smaller than Rome, you'll have an easier time wandering around the city and getting a sense of what Italian life must have been like during the Renaissance. You'll see the enchanting Michelangelo's David, one of the most famous sculpture of all times, in front of The Palazzo Vecchio and the Loggia dei Lanzi, an open air museum, located in the Piazza della Signoria. The great Uffizi Gallery, a former palace of the famous Medici family, generally regarded as one of the top museums of the world, with its collections of Italian Renaissance art. The beautiful Basilica of Santa Maria del Fiore in front of the old Battistero . From the top of the Campanile di Giotto, 82 meters high, next to the Basilica, you will enjoy a wonderful landscape view of the city, while at the Ponte Vecchio and Duomo.

What to expect

  1. Piazzale Michelangelo
    25m
    The Magical Florence Skyline

    Florence seen from above is a singular experience. Not just a perfect photo opportunity, but a moment of wonder. You are looking at the city that gave birth to incredible artists, amazing scientists and an enthralling history of discovery and power that has filled novels and movie theaters.

    No matter what time of day, you will find that Piazzale Michelangelo truly offers a stupendous lookout over Florence. Don't be surprised if you also see it written as Piazzale Michelangiolo, this is from the archaic Florentine pronunciation and most definitely the one you see on street signs or the brown and white signs that indicate historic landmarks. In any case, however you spell it, it is one site that should not be missed. It may be a classic tourist stop, but it never fails to capture the heart and imagination of those who follow the path to the very top.
  2. Santa Croce
    50m
    Santa Croce, rebuilt for the Franciscan order in 1294 by Arnolfo di Cambio, is the burial place for the great and good in Florence. Michelangelo is buried in Santa Croce, as are Rossini, Machiavelli, and the Pisan-born Galileo Galilei, who was tried by the Inquisition and was not allowed a Christian burial until 1737, 95 years after his death. There is also a memorial to Dante, but his sarcophagus is empty (he is actually buried in Ravenna as he was exiled from Florence).
  3. Duomo
    1h
    Florence's cathedral stands tall over the city with its magnificent Renaissance dome designed by Filippo Brunelleschi, with the baptistery right across. The cathedral named in honor of Santa Maria del Fiore is a vast Gothic structure built on the site of the 7th century church of Santa Reparata, the remains of which can be seen in the crypt.
