Fri, 25th July 2008 - Tue, 31st March 2009

The tour starts from the interesting Central market zone, characterized by its workshops and multicoloured stalls where the Medicean Chapels and Basilica di S. Lorenzo, the church of Medicis Family, are located. In a short time you can reach Piazza del Duomo, where you can admire the Cathedral* (inside visit) and its dome by Brunelleschi, the bell tower by Giotto and Saint John Baptistery with its Paradise Door.

The tour continues by visiting the medieval quarters where Dante Alighieri and Beatrice lived. Further on you can find Palazzo del Bargello.

Not too far away is Piazza della Signoria, a great "open-air sculpture museum" overlooked by the imposing Palazzo Vecchio. Next to it is the Uffizi Gallery, one of the most important museums all over the world.

Then you will proceed to the picturesque Mercato della Paglia (Straw market), where the famous Piggy Fountain is located. You will walk along the street that leads to Ponte Vecchio, the "jewels bridge". By crossing the bridge, you will reach the wonderful Pitti Palace.

It is possible to book the guided promenade with a light lunch including drinks in an ancient and charming restaurant in the old city centre, very close to the place where our tour ends.

Tour departs from the Piazza Stazione, at the corner with Piazza dellUnità.
