Tour a pie por Florencia en grupo pequeño

Your discovery starts in the ancient Medici Family District. In the heart of Florence you will walk the same narrow streets the Medici walked, seeing the monuments they saw every day: Palazzo Medici Riccardi, their first residence in the San Lorenzo district, where you also find their Church and mausoleum, the Medici Chapels. A few steps away is the amazing complex of monuments of the religious centre of Florence: the Cathedral with its incredible Brunelleschi dome, the Baptistery of San Giovanni with the Porta del Paradiso (Gates of Paradise) and the elegant Giotto bell tower, the loveliest in all of Italy. The walk continues along lively Via Calzaioli, where you can admire Orsanmichele Church, a masterpiece of Florentine gothic art decorated with statues of the patron saints of the medieval trade guilds. Then we reach the bustling Mercato della Paglia (Straw Market): don't forget to rub the nose of the famous "porcellino" (pig) and toss a coin into the fountain for good luck! Next is the romantic Ponte Vecchio, the oldest bridge in Florence, with its renowned jewellery shops. Finally we arrive in Piazza Signoria, one of the most beautiful squares in the world and the political centre of the city. In this true 'outdoor museum' you will admire the Fountain of Neptune with the imposing marble statue by Ammannati and the sculptural masterpieces of the Loggia dei Lanzi, including Cellini's Perseus and Gianbologna's Rape of the Sabines. Dominating it all is the majestic Palazzo Vecchio with its crenellated Arnolfo tower, one of the most famous symbols of Florence. Please note that the order of the visits may change.
