TOUR  N. 10 -  FLORENCE  MAJOR  HIGHLIGHTS

Our English speaking driver will meet you at the gangway of your ship with the air-conditioned vehicle requested to begin the drive to Florence.

Florence is located on both banks of the Arno river and surrounded by the Appenine hills. Among the most famous, Florence is the home of Dante, Machiavelli , Michelangelo and the Medici Family.

We will stop for a beautiful view of Florence from Piazzale Michelangelo from where you will admire the tile roofs, steeples and domes.

We will then begin our descent into the central downtown area of Florence to visit the Accademy (the "David" and other masterpieces), the Duomo, the Baptistry and Giotto's bell tower. We will proceed either on foot or with our vehicle (we'll be in the downtown walking area) to visit the other important monuments and the shopping areas.

We will then proceed through some of Florence's most elegant streets to the city's largest square which is Piazza della Signoria. This was once the center of Florentine life. View the Uffizi Gallery building in the form of a horseshoe extending from Piazza della Signoria to the Arno river.

For those who love art and painting we can also visit the Uffizi building that homes paintings of Cimabue , Giotto, Botticelli, Leonardo Da Vinci, etc. in 44 rooms full of works of art and of course we shall go to Ponte Vecchio the fashionable silversmith old bridge.

We will also pay a visit to the church of S. Croce (this is where you can visit the tombs of Michaelangelo, Galileo, Giotto, etc.) or if you prefer you can end the day doing some shopping for a good buy, maybe on a nice pair of shoes or leather coat.
