Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Piazzale degli Uffizi, 50122, Florence Italy
Meeting point
Duration: 5 minutes
Pass By: Gallerie Degli Uffizi, Piazzale degli Uffizi 6, 50122, Florence Italy
Stretching over two vast floors and 50 rooms, the famous Uffizi Gallery houses more than hundred thousand sculptures, paintings, and antiques. They are the proofs of the splendor and richness of Florentine cultural heritage. Being such a popular landmark, spur of the moment visit can cost you dearly. up to three uncomfortable hours in the queues!
Stop At: Piazza della Signoria, 50122, Florence Italy
Piazza della Signoria is an L-shaped square in front of the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, Italy. It was named after the Palazzo della Signoria, also called Palazzo Vecchio.
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: Ponte Vecchio, 50125, Florence Italy
The Ponte Vecchio "Old bridge" is a medieval stone closed-spandrel segmental arch bridge over the Arno River, in Florence, Italy, noted for still having shops built along it, as was once common. Butchers initially occupied the shops; the present tenants are jewelers, art dealers and souvenir sellers. The Ponte Vecchio's two neighbouring bridges are the Ponte Santa Trinita and the Ponte alle Grazie.
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: Church and Museum of Orsanmichele, Via Arte della Lana 1, 50123, Florence Italy
Orsanmichele (or "Kitchen Garden of St. Michael", from the contraction in Tuscan dialect of the Italian word orto) is a church in the Italian city of Florence. The building was constructed on the site of the kitchen garden of the monastery of San Michele, which no longer exists.
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: Basilica di Santa Croce, Piazza Santa Croce 16, Florence Italy
The Basilica of Santa Croce was designed by Arnolfo di Cambio in 1294 and stood completed in 1385. If you are curious about the name, the basilica owes it to the Holy Cross (santa croce) donated by King Louis of France. In fact, it was the inspiration behind building the church.
Duration: 20 minutes
Stop At: Piazza del Duomo, 50122, Florence Italy
Piazza del Duomo is located in the heart of the historic center of Florence, (Tuscany - Italy). It is one of the most visited places in Europe and the world and in Florence, the most visited area of the city.[1] The square contains the Florence Cathedral with the Cupola del Brunelleschi, the Giotto's Campanile, the Florence Baptistery, the Loggia del Bigallo, the Opera del Duomo Museum, and the Arcivescovile and Canonici's palace. The west zone of this square is called Piazza San Giovanni.
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: Galleria dell'Accademia, Via Ricasoli, 58/60, 50122, Florence Italy
The Accademia is also referred to as the statue of David museum, and its no surprise! This statue is the pearl of the museum's exhibitions. However, David is just a tip of this iceberg. The gallery is also home to the collection of Michelangelo other works including his 4 unfinished Prisoners. Furthermore, you can find Florentine paintings from the 15th and 16th century by talented Uccello, Botticelli or del Sarto. A recent addition to the gallery is the Museum of Musical Instruments displaying masterpieces by Stradivari and Cristofori (inventor of the piano).
