Itinerary

1

Ponte Santa Trinita

We are in the heart of the city. Straight ahead is the historic Salvatore Ferragamo boutique, in the middle of the square stands the Column of Justice, and to your left the Gothic basilica of Santa Trinita with its frescoes.

2

Piazza Ognissanti

Piazza Ognissanti, with a free visit to the church of the same name. Sandro Botticelli, who was born in this quarter, is buried here, as is Caroline Bonaparte, Napoleon's sister. The church is known for frescoes by Domenico Ghirlandaio and by Botticelli himself, and above all for Giotto's Crucifix, the Ognissanti Crucifix.

3

Piazza Carlo Goldoni

Where the tour starts and ends, unless you ask us to drop you somewhere else.

4

Porta Romana

We pass the old southern gate in the medieval walls, the historic entrance for anyone arriving in Florence from Rome. This is where the scenic climb up to Piazzale Michelangelo begins.

5

Ponte Vecchio

We cross Ponte Santa Trinita, which gives you the best view there is of Ponte Vecchio, the symbol of Florence and the only bridge in the city spared in 1944. Your driver tells you the story and shows you exactly where to stand for the photo.

6

Fontane delle Rampe del Poggi

A striking three-tiered fountain on the road between Piazzale Michelangelo and the church of San Miniato al Monte. Worth a proper look, especially in the sunset light.

7

Basilica San Miniato al Monte

A Benedictine abbey built between 1013 and 1018, the oldest church in Florence in the Florentine Romanesque style, with a white and green marble facade and a wide view over the city.

8

Piazzale Michelangelo

We reach Piazzale Michelangelo, where a one-of-a-kind panorama opens up. You will see the whole of Florence from above, with Ponte Vecchio, the Duomo and the Arno laid out beneath you, and at sunset the light on the city is unforgettable.
