On this captivating tour, you'll marvel at the stunning sculptures outside the Vecchio Palace. Gaze upon Ammanati’s controversial ‘Neptune Fountain,’ which prompted Michelangelo to famously quip, "What a lovely piece of marble you have ruined!" Admire Bandinelli’s powerful ‘Hercules and Cacus’ and Giambologna’s dramatic masterpiece, ‘The Rape of the Sabine Women.’
From the bustling central piazza, we’ll take a short stroll to the historic Ponte Vecchio, the only bridge in Florence to survive the German retreat during World War II, brimming with charm and history.
Our next stop is the Uffizi Gallery, the oldest museum in the world, established in 1560 as offices for the Tuscan administration. Here, you'll embark on a guided tour, taking in masterpieces such as Botticelli’s ethereal ‘The Birth of Venus’ and ‘Primavera,’ Michelangelo’s poignant ‘The Holy Family,’ and Titian’s alluring ‘Venus of Urbino.’ The gallery’s paintings are displayed in chronological order within rooms off the horseshoe-shaped main corridor, allowing you to witness the evolution of Florentine art from the Gothic era to the High Renaissance.
We’ll then make our way to the awe-inspiring Florence Duomo, where you can admire Giotto’s Campanile bell tower, constructed in 1334, and Ghiberti’s exquisite Baptistry Doors, created in 1401.
Our tour culminates at the Accademia Gallery, where you will stand in awe before Michelangelo’s iconic ‘David,’ a masterpiece that epitomizes Renaissance art and human beauty. This journey through Florence’s artistic and historical treasures will leave you enchanted and inspired.
