Why you should buy your ticket on Ticket - Sitomito.
Highlights
Start your tour from the heart of Florence , with the Guided Tour of the Accademia Gallery, with a total immersion in Michelangelo's art to learn about his most famous work, the "David", and other important masterpieces such as "The Prisoners", "San Matteo" and the "Pietà di Palestrina".
The young Michelangelo sculpted David from a huge block of rough marble over three years, creating an imposing sculpture of absolute beauty, an icon of the Renaissance model.
You'll then continue with a walking tour that includes a guided outdoor visit to the Church of San Lorenzo and the Duomo complex: the Baptistery of San Giovanni with its bronze doors, such as the famous Gates of Paradise, and the Cathedral with Brunelleschi's magnificent Dome and Giotto's Bell Tower. The walk continues along the lively Via Calzaiuoli, in the heart of the city, where you can admire the imposing and unique Church of Orsanmichele, a masterpiece of Florentine Gothic art, decorated with aedicules bearing statues of the patron saints of the powerful medieval artisan guilds. You'll then reach the lively Straw Market: don't forget to rub the nose of the famous "pig" and toss a coin into the fountain for good luck!
Continuing, you can admire the romantic and picturesque Ponte Vecchio, the oldest bridge in Florence, with its renowned jewelry shops. Your delightful journey into the past will conclude in Piazza Signoria, one of the most beautiful squares in the world and the political center of the city. In this true "open-air museum," you will be amazed by the splendid Fountain of Neptune with the marvelous and imposing marble statue by Ammannati. Then, turning your gaze outside, you will see the sculptural masterpieces of the Loggia dei Lanzi, including Cellini's Perseus and Gianbologna's Rape of the Sabine Women. Dominating the whole scene is the majestic Palazzo Vecchio with its crenellated Arnolfo Tower, one of the most famous symbols of Florence, which you can admire in all its magnificence.
Conclude this fantastic tour with a delicious Tuscan lunch at a restaurant located in the historic center.
