A pleasant relaxing drive through the breathtaking region of Tuscany will take you to Florence, the birthplace of the Renaissance as well as many influential figures like the Medici family, DanteCimabue, DonatelloBrunelleschi,  and the home of Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci.

Whether you are fascinated by Italy’s Renaissance history, art, architecture...or prefer to stroll through its fascinating piazzas and shop for Italy’s finest leather goods, gold jewelry and designer labels, Florence has something special to offer all its visitors.

Once you arrive in Florence you will be greeted by an unforgettable vista of the city and its famous Ponte Vecchio and Arno River from Piazzale Michelangelo. This is one of the most picturesque spots in Florence, so don’t forget to bring your camera!

From here you will visit the Cathedral of Florence, also known as the Basilica di Santa Maria dei Fiori.

Centuries in the making, it begun in 1296, was consecrated in 1436, but it took until the 19the century for it to look like it does today with the stunning green, pink and white marble facade.

The Piazza of the Duomo also includes Giotto’s bell tower and the Baptistry with its famous door by Ghiberti that was considered by Michelangelo to be the “gates of paradise”.

 

Rome  to Florence Tours from Livorno Shore Excursions Michelangelo David Accadmia Gallery

 

At this time you will have the opportunity to visit the famous Accademia Gallery museum that features the famous statue of David by Michelangelo along with other remarkable masterpieces by renown artists.

Lunch will be enjoyed in Florence at a restaurant or trattoria of your preference. Your chauffeur will be happy to offer suggestions for lunch.

Next to the Uffizi Gallery is Piazza della Signoria, the most recognized piazza in Florence, with the replica of Michelangelo’s iconic statue of David displayed prominently with Palazzo Vecchio behind it, and the Loggia dei Lanzi that’s an open-air gallery of incredible sculptures.

Piazza della Signoria is lined with various restaurants that offer a perfect setting for a traditional Italian lunch in Florence.
 


Nearby you’ll discover the most famous and picturesque bridge in Italy: Ponte Vecchio (the Old Bridge).

Once an unappealing setting for malodorous butcher shops, the Medici family turned it over to Florentine goldsmiths adding a jewel box charm and prestige to this famous pedestrian bridge.

Florence is not only the birthplace and home of many Renaissance illustrious figures. You will soon discover the impressive Church of Santa Croce (Holy Cross) that is the burial place of many of them as well.

You’ll also see the tomb of Dante, but he is actually buried in Ravenna.

From here you will enjoy a comfortable drive back to your hotel accommodation in Rome.
