As you step off the train your local expert guide will greet you and embark on a walking tour to unveil the great beauty of Florence. Hear the true stories about Medici ambitions, greed, and power as you stroll through the charming streets. Walk past famous landmarks like the Florence Duomo, Brunelleschi's magnificent Dome, and the Baptistry. Next you'll take in Piazza della Signoria where an exact replica of Michelangelo's statue of David stands. Heading along towards the River Arno, we'll stop by the Uffizi Museum and view the famous Vasari Corridor, a medieval 1km-long overpass. After a photo-op for some stunning pictures of the famous Ponte Vecchio, our walking tour of Florence comes to a conclusion.
Now is your turn! Before getting back to Rome, take some free time to explore the most vibrant town in Italy. Whether you're passionate about food, fashion, artisan products, art, or history, Florence is the place. Embrace the charm and excitement of this incredible city as your solo adventure begins now!
Our top 3 suggestions for your free time:
- Sit in a cozy restaurant and try the local delicacies. For meat eaters, you can't miss the Florentine steak (remember that it's supposed to be shared...). Are you not so big on meat? Worry not, try the pappa al pomodoro and don't miss out on the gelato!
- Haggle the prices at the leather market and get some deal on whatever leather good you fancy.
- Museum goer? Then you can't miss the Uffizi or the Accademia (make sure you book them in advance!).
