Fascinating Florence with a Tuscan Tasting

Kickstart your Florentine adventure with a curated tasting of Tuscan specialties, an appetizing introduction to the region's culinary heritage.

The present column dates to 1431. In the historically pivotal Piazza della Signoria, every stone tells a story, immersing you in Florence's profound historical and cultural narrative. The center of political life in Florence since the 14th century, this was the scene of the Medici's return in 1530 and the Bonfire of the Vanities instigated by Savonarola.

Meander through Florence's romantic streets to the Ponte Vecchio, the iconic bridge lined with quaint shops that seem to hold centuries of secrets. The Ponte Vecchio was the only bridge across the Arno in the city until 1218; the current bridge was rebuilt after a 14th-century flood.

Florence, a cradle of art and history, houses some of the world's eminent artistic treasures. Notably, Michelangelo's David stands as a paragon of artistic perfection. For those desiring to witness this iconic sculpture in its full splendor, a visit to the Accademia Gallery is indispensable (not included). It's a chance to marvel not only at Michelangelo's genius but also at a trove of other significant artworks, including Michelangelo's Prisoners, Giambologna's Rape of the Sabines, and Botticelli's Madonna and Child and Madonna of the Sea.
