Overview
Start your journey at Santa Maria Novella, a Gothic masterpiece that sets the tone for Florence’s artistic soul. Wander through lively streets to San Lorenzo, once the private church of the powerful Medici family.
Continue to the iconic Duomo, crowned by Brunelleschi’s astonishing dome, a symbol of the city’s brilliance and ambition. From there, walk toward Palazzo Vecchio, the historic seat of Florentine power, overlooking the sculpture-filled Piazza della Signoria. Every corner reveals stories of rivalry, artistry, and political intrigue.
Your next stop is the Basilica of Santa Croce, where legends like Michelangelo, Galileo, and Machiavelli found their final resting place. Here, centuries of history feel almost tangible.
End with a gentle climb to Piazzale Michelangelo, the most breathtaking viewpoint in Florence. Take in a panoramic sweep of the Arno River, red-tiled rooftops, and the glowing Duomo — the perfect finale to a journey through the heart of the Renaissance.
