Description

Experience the beauty of Florence on a hassle-free independent day trip from Milan! Travel comfortably by high-speed train from Milano Centrale and arrive in just 2 hours in the heart of the Renaissance city. Start your adventure with a guided walking tour led by a professional local guide. Explore the Medici district and admire the historic San Lorenzo Church, Medici Chapels, and the grand Medici Palace. Marvel at the iconic Duomo complex: the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, Brunelleschi’s Dome, Giotto’s Bell Tower, and the Baptistery with its golden “Gates of Paradise.” Stroll through Dante’s medieval neighborhood, see the stunning Orsanmichele Church, and visit the famous Straw Market—don’t forget to rub the nose of “Il Porcellino” for good luck! Continue to Piazza della Signoria, home to the Fountain of Neptune, Palazzo Vecchio, and the open-air sculpture gallery of the Loggia dei Lanzi. Follow from the outside the Vasari Corridor to the picturesque Ponte Vecchio and enjoy views of its charming jewelry shops. In the afternoon, if option selected, skip the line to explore the magnificent interior of Florence’s Cathedral. Admire Bandinelli’s marble choir, masterpieces by Donatello and Ghiberti, and Vasari’s frescoes in the iconic Brunelleschi Dome—an enduring symbol of Renaissance genius.
