Florence Highlights Walking Tour + Michelangelo’s David

Discover Florence's most iconic landmarks on this immersive walking tour, culminating in a visit to the city’s crown jewel: Michelangelo’s David.

We’ll begin our exploration in the heart of the city, walking among Florence's most famous monuments. Marvel at the stunning Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore (the Duomo), with its magnificent dome designed by Brunelleschi, the Baptistry, and Giotto's Bell Tower. These masterpieces of Renaissance architecture are not only breathtaking but also tell the rich history of Florence’s artistic and religious heritage.

Our journey continues to Piazza della Signoria, the political and historical center of Florence. Here, you’ll find the Palazzo Vecchio, an imposing government building that once housed the city's rulers. The square itself is a true open-air museum, filled with original sculptures, including Perseus with the Head of Medusa and Neptune’s Fountain, making it a unique experience in the heart of Florence.

Next, we’ll head towards the legendary Ponte Vecchio (Old Bridge), renowned for its charming goldsmith shops. This iconic bridge offers beautiful views of the Arno River and has a fascinating history. Nearby, we’ll stop at the Loggia del Mercato Nuovo, a bustling market area. Be sure to rub the bronze wild boar statue – legend has it that doing so will guarantee your return to Florence!

Finally, we’ll wander through the charming, narrow streets of the medieval district, where you’ll get a taste of Florence’s ancient charm and local life.

Please note: On this tour, we’ll visit all these magnificent monuments from the outside, with the exception of Michelangelo’s David. Here, you’ll have the chance to step inside the Accademia Gallery to see the iconic statue up close – a true masterpiece of Renaissance art.
