First, explore the city, including the historic Academia. This gallery is home to one of the world’s most iconic statues: David, by Michelangelo.
Your guide will discuss the artistic mastermind behind this giant nude statue and his other 16th century works on display in the museum. You’ll also wander the streets of the city center, learning about Florence’s long history as it unfolded in public squares like Piazza della Signoria and Piazza della Repubblica.
See the only bridge to survive World War II, the Ponte Vecchio while discussing the noble Medici family who put Florence on the map. Follow in the steps of artists like Leonardo da Vinci who would have marveled at the city’s stunning architecture as you walk past the imposing Duomo.
