Delve into the historic center of Florence on a three hour walking tour including the Ponte Vecchio, the Duomo, Uffizi Square, the leather market and Accademia Gallery. Your local guide will identify architecture from the Middle Ages and Renaissance eras as you stroll the timeless streets of Florence.

Visit the former Ancient Forum, now Piazza della Repubblica and a popular meeting place for writers and artists. Glance Ghilberti's Baptistry Doors, known as the 'Gates of Paradise' and be sure to rub the nose of legendary il Porcellino' the boar, so that you may one day return again to Florence!

Dominating the Florentine skyline, Brunlleschi's imposing Duomo never fails to impress. Entry inside the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore is astounding. Devour a delicious homemade Italian gelato before arriving at the Hospital of the Innocents, the first European orphanage.

Next, skip the line into the Accademia Gallery and marvel at Michelangelo's 17 foot David and enjoy the rest of the gallery's artistic works at your leisure.
