The heart of Florence: where art meets history
Guided tour of Piazza della Signoria and Palazzo Vecchio, two symbols of the Tuscan capital
Statues, churches, museums, galleries, ancient streets, iconic squares and breathtaking views. In Florence, art reigns supreme, imbuing the city with unique beauty. Alongside a private guide, discover the iconic heart of the Renaissance city: Piazza della Signoria. Visit the sculptural masterpieces in the Loggia dei Lanzi, an open-air museum where you can admire Cellini's Perseus with the Head of Medusa and Giambologna's Abduction of a Sabine Woman. Then enter the Palazzo Vecchio, one of the most recognisable buildings in the world, with its distinctive crenellated tower, which has embodied Florence's civil power since the 14th century. Visit the courtyard, the Salone del Cinquecento and the rooms of the Quartieri Monumentali, frescoed by masters such as Ghirlandaio, Salviati, Bronzino and Vasari and embellished with sculptures by Michelangelo and Donatello. Immerse yourself in centuries of history to get a glimpse of the true soul of the city.
