Overview
Do you want to know the true essence of Florence, far from the tourist routes? Come with us to discover the Oltrarno, the most authentic neighborhood.
We start in the elegant Piazza Santa Trinità, where we will talk about powerful families, fashion and commercial rivalries. We will cross Santa Trinità Bridge, rebuilt stone by stone after World War II, with one of the most beautiful views of the Ponte Vecchio. We will walk through Borgo San Iacopo, between medieval towers and charming alleys, and arrive at the hidden Piazza della Passera, symbol of the most popular, creative and full of local life Oltrarno. We will see the birthplace of the Monalisa, learn about Machiavelli's thoughts in front of his former home, and stop in front of the Palazzo di Bianca Cappello to discover a story of love, power and scandal with the Medici as protagonists.
We will continue to the imposing Pitti Palace and close the tour in the vibrant Piazza Santo Spirito, bohemian heart of the neighborhood, where a young Michelangelo studied anatomy in secret.
A tour full of history, fascinating characters and unique corners. Ideal for those who want to experience Florence like a true local.
