Itinerary
Meet your guide by Dante's statue in front of the famous Basilica di Santa Croce or, if your hotel is central located, meet her in the lobby and start your walking tour from there.
Then, your tour takes you past the “Porcellino” (little pig) market, and on to Florence’s oldest bridge, the Ponte Vecchio. You’ll learn about the bridge’s rich history, and how the Vasari Corridor dramatically changed the shops that line the bridge.
The political centre of Florence, Piazza della Signoria, is next,
Then the Piazza Duomo where you’ll marvel at the Cathedral’s unique marble decoration, and of course, Brunelleschi’s Dome.
At this point on the tour, your guide will give you instructions to get to the top of the Dome with your skip-the-line tickets. Wear comfortable shoes! There are 463 steps (no elevator), but the views are worth it!

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.
Top-ranked sights in Florence: Piazza della Signoria, Uffizi Galleries (Gallerie degli Uffizi), Florence Duomo (Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore).
