Itinerary
Your day starts in Piazza della Signoria, the open square that has been the civic heart of Florence since the Middle Ages. Meet your expert art historian guide here, at the exact spot listed on your booking voucher, and get a short introduction to the Medici family before heading inside.
With timed-entry tickets in hand, you head into the Uffizi, home to the world's greatest collection of Renaissance art. You begin in the long corridors that Cosimo I de' Medici commissioned in 1560 as government offices, while your guide explains how one family's wealth, political influence, and art patronage turned Florence into the birthplace of the Renaissance. Your guide then leads a planned route through the gallery's key rooms, introducing the artists, ideas, and innovations that reshaped European painting. Along the way, learn how mythology, religion, portraiture, and symbolism shifted across one of the most influential artistic periods in history. The guided visit ends inside the gallery. Revisit a favorite painting, linger in a quieter corridor, or seek out one more Renaissance master before you leave.

About Florence
Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, gathers masterpieces of art and architecture into a compact city of stone streets beside the Arno.
The Duomo, with Brunelleschi's great red-brick dome, Giotto's bell tower and the Baptistery's gilded doors, marks the centre of town. A few streets away, Piazza della Signoria and the Palazzo Vecchio face a loggia full of sculpture, and the Uffizi Gallery holds Botticelli, Leonardo and Raphael. Michelangelo's David stands in the Galleria dell'Accademia.
