Description
From Michelangelo’s David to the awe-inspiring Duomo, Medici palaces, medieval piazzas, and Renaissance marketplaces—every stop on this tour is a testament to Florence’s timeless beauty. Your guide will lead you through Florence’s medieval streets and alleys to the enigmatic Basilica of St. Lawrence (Basilica di San Lorenzo) and the Medici Chapel, where once prominent members of the Medici family are buried. As you wind your way through historic Florence, your guide will amuse you with Florentine histories, legends, and tales of local peculiarity. On your journey, you will discover such sites as the Medici Riccardi Palace, Piazza Repubblica, and the New Market Lodge (Loggia del Mercato Nuovo)—where a statue of a wild boar is said to bring luck to those who rub its nose. Your journey continues to Ponte Vecchio, where artisans and craftsmen have sold their wares for centuries, and still do to this day. From here, your guide will lead you past the Uffizi gallery, beyond the Old Palace (Palazzo Vecchio) in the gorgeous Piazza della Signoria, and to the breathtaking Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore—once the largest structure in Europe.Includes
