Your first stop will be Piazzale Michelangelo, a famous square with a magnificent panoramic view of Florence that has been depicted in countless postcards and snapshots.
Your tour continues to explore the city’s most important artistic treasures: Piazza Santa Croce, where you can get up close to the final resting place of many legendary Italian characters, including Galileo, Michelangelo and Machiavelli; Ponte Vecchio, Italy’s most famous and fascinating bridge; Piazza della Signoria, with Palazzo Vecchio overlooking the square and a copy of the statue of David welcoming you at its entrance; Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore, the main church of Florence, with the world-famous dome engineered by Filippo Brunelleschi.
