Day 7 - Florence Sightseeing
The city of Florence is rife with historical sites and
magnificent medieval architecture, both of which are yours to
discover on this morning's walking tour. Join your local guide in
Piazza della Signoria at the historic Caffè Rivoire-Collini for
this small group excursion and get set for an insider's look at
this dynamic city. The tour begins in the beautifully preserved
piazza, where sites like the Loggia dei Lanzi, with its sweeping
arches, and the 13th-century Palazzo Vecchio, frame the vast, open
space. Wind through Florence's pretty piazzas and narrow streets to
the Duomo complex, home to a grandiose cathedral, Giotto's Bell
Tower, and the Baptistry. Your tour concludes as you approach the
Accademia Gallery, home to many traditional Florentine artworks,
including those by Michelangelo. Before you leave the museum, enjoy
a look at his grand masterpiece, the statue of David.
Spend the remainder of the day exploring Florence at your own
pace. Perhaps continue your deep dive into Tuscany's art scene by
visiting the Uffizi Gallery or meandering through the jewelry shops
in Ponte Vecchio. The Piazzale Michelangelo is the best place to
marvel at panoramic views over the city. In contrast, the Mercato
Centrale offers a bustling backdrop to navigate the flavors of
Florence. Overnight Florence.
