Activity itinerary

Piazzale Michelangelo

  • 15m
Perched on the hills south of the historic centre, Piazzale Michelangelo is the city's most iconic viewpoint. Designed in 1869 by architect Giuseppe Poggi, it offers a breathtaking panorama that encompasses all of Florence: from Ponte Vecchio to Brunelleschi's Dome, stretching to the hills of Fiesole. At the heart of the square stands a majestic bronze replica of Michelangelo's David, making this the perfect backdrop for the ultimate souvenir photo of your Tuscan journey.

Florence

  • 4h
A full immersion into the cradle of the Renaissance, where every sense is satisfied: Walk Among Masterpieces: Led by your expert tour leader, you’ll admire Florence’s world-famous icons: the majestic Brunelleschi’s Dome, the legendary Ponte Vecchio with its gold workshops, and the monumental Piazza della Signoria. A Journey into Historic Craftsmanship: Step into the city’s beating heart with visits to selected workshops. You’ll see leather masters at work, discover the secrets of handmade marbled paper, and be enchanted by the essences of an old-world artistic perfumery. A Tuscan Banquet: Not a quick break, but a genuine sit-down lunch in a local trattoria. You will savour traditional dishes paired with a selection of local wines and a guided Extra Virgin Olive Oil tasting. The experience ends with the unmistakable flavour of authentic artisanal gelato.
