Florence At Twilight Tour: Secrets Of the Renaissance
What your day looks like
Get your time in Florence off to the perfect start with our introduction to the jewel of the Italian Renaissance. See Florence at its spectacular best as evening turns to night, leaving the crowds and the heat behind on this carefully crafted city orientation walk. We’ll hit the ground running by introducing you to the Renaissance’s most important patrons, princes, and artists before making our way to Florence’s jaw-dropping Piazza del Duomo, where Brunelleschi’s dome shines as a symbol of the city. Follow in the footsteps of Dante through the atmospheric and timeless laneways of medieval Florence, and gaze awestruck at the sweeping Piazza della Signoria, the original site of Michelangelo’s David and now home to an incredible open-air sculpture gallery. Cross iconic Ponte Vecchio and discover the secrets of the city in buzzing Oltrarno, before concluding your Florence 101 itinerary with a complimentary glass of wine at an atmospheric local bar.
