Day Trip from Rome to Florence with David and Duomo

David Statue at the Accademia

The most famous statue in Florence, and probably the world, Michelangelo's David stands at an imposing fourteen feet tall. Carved between 1501 and 1504, Michelangelo was only 26 years old when he created this masterpiece. Behind the Uffizi Gallery, the Accademia Gallery is the second most visited museum in Florence.

Florence Duomo from the Outside

Did you know that the Italian word "duomo" doesn't actually mean "dome"? Contrary to belief, a duomo refers to the principle church or cathedral in a city or town. From outside, admire the incredible cathedral and magnificent Renaissance dome designed by Filippo Brunelleschi himself. Then, get a glimpse of the bronze Baptistry Doors. See why these doors earned the nickname of the "Gates of Paradise".

The Old Bridge - Ponte Vecchio

The "Old Bridge", or Ponte Vecchio is home to dozens of built-in shops. The Vasari Corridor connects the Palazzo Vecchio with the Palazzo Pitti across the bridge. In this elevated corridor, the Medici Family moved between their house and the palace. With the addition of the Vasari Corridor, the butchers and tanners who plied their wares on the bridge were evicted. In their place, Jewelers took over. You can still shop for jewelry on Ponte Vecchio.

After you've finished your day in Florence, it’s time to say arrivederci to your guide and fellow travelers. Your attendant will lead the group back to the train station and you'll return to Rome via high-speed rail.
