Description

Explore Florence's rich history starting with the ancient Medici Family District. Walk along the same narrow streets and touch the stones used to build their residences, including the Palazzo Medici Riccardi in San Lorenzo. Discover the Medici Chapels and Church before moving on to the religious center, featuring the Cathedral with Brunelleschi's dome, the Baptistery of San Giovanni, and Giotto's bell tower. Continue your journey along Via Calzaioli, marveling at the Orsanmichele Church and the lively Mercato della Paglia. Don't forget to rub the nose of the famous 'porcellino' for good luck. Reach Piazza Signoria, the political center, and enjoy the outdoor museum with the Fountain of Neptune, Loggia dei Lanzi, and Palazzo Vecchio's Arnolfo tower. Explore the Michelozzo courtyard and admire the Ponte Vecchio, the oldest bridge with its renowned jewelry shops. Note that the order of visits may change.
