A TIPYCAL FULL DAY TOUR IN FLORENCE - FLORENCE TOURS

FLORENCE FULL DAY TIPYCAL TOUR - TUSCANY TOURS

Driving up the beautiful Viale dei Colli, we reach the marvellous terrace called Piazzale Michelangelo (named for the artist who sculpted the original David statue). Here is the most impressive view of the city of Florence. Nearby you can also see the gorgeous white and green marble façade of the S. Miniato al Monte church - one of the purest examples of the Florentine Romanesque style.

After leaving the church, in this Florence tour, we follow an uphill road, bordered by the ancient city walls, until we reach Forte Belvedere, built around 1590 by the Grand-duke Ferdinand to protect the Medici villas. Driving down from the Fort, passing the old gate to the city, the Porta Romana, we come to the imposing Pitti Palace, which hosts many galleries and museums (Gallery of Modern Art, Costume Gallery, Palatine Gallery,Royal Apartments, Coach Museum, Silver and Porcelain museums, etc) and a magnificent park called the Boboli Gardens. Next we head for the dead center of the downtown, to the Piazza della Repubblica, surrounded by the historical literary cafés, where long ago important intellectuals gathered together. Following the Via De’Calzaiuoli, which connects Piazza del Duomo ( S. Maria del Fiore, the Baptistery, Giotto’s Bell tower) to Piazza Signoria (Palazzo Vecchio, Uffizi, etc.) you will be able to admire the best masterpieces of Renaissance art, breathing in the magical atmosphere that only Florence can offer, a marvellous tour of Florence.

For the shop or the hungry soul, there are also many shops and “trattoria” to dive into, so everyone in the group can satisfy their desires whether it be a sharp leather jacket, or a scrumptious plate of pasta!Our driver, completely at your disposition, will be more than happy to take you to Piazza Santa Croce to visit the Holy Cross church, where many famous Italians are buried, and then take a must-deserved rest. At this point, you could choose to visit the Academy Museum to take in the original David statue by Michelangelo (the David statues found at Piazzale Michelangelo and in Piazza Signoria are both copies and pale in comparison!), or ride up to visit the ancient Etruscan town above Florence to admire another view or explore the old Roman Amphitheatre.
