This morning, join a Local Expert for a walking tour through Florence’s Renaissance heart. With Insight Choice, visit the Accademia Gallery to witness Michelangelo’s David up close before seeing the intricate marble façades of the Duomo, bell tower and baptistery, home to the gilded Gates of Paradise. Alternatively, join your Travel Director for a relaxed stroll to a nearby cafe to enjoy a traditional Italian treat. Continue through the Piazza della Signoria, where statues of Neptune, Hercules and Cacus stand guard over the historic centre of civic life. Enjoy free time to wander Florence’s historic streets. After a demonstration of Florence’s traditional leatherwork and gold craftsmanship—an enduring part of the city’s artisan legacy, perhaps join the excursion to San Gimignano, known as Tuscany’s ‘medieval Manhattan’. Admire its iconic towers, hear tales of rival families and explore centuries-old architecture. Your visit also includes a specially selected local delicacy.
