Then you will say “Wow” in front of Piazza del Duomo (the Duomo square): Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral, topped by the huge Brunelleschi’s Dome, and its marble statues and decorations, turning golden at sunset. We ascend the Giotto’s Bell Tower with its 414 steps to reach the top, and the Romanesque Baptistery, embellished by the famous Porta del Paradiso (Gate of Haven).
The tour continues with a walk through the Medieval District, called Dante District: the author of “The Divine Comedy” was born here and walked along these narrow streets lined with ancient and mighty tower-houses, built by rich families, symbol of the Medieval past of Florence.

Palazzo Vecchio, Medieval governmental palace, residence of the Medici and now the city hall of Florence: its high tower is the symbol of long-lasting the long-lasting power of Florence. Under the Loggia dei Lanzi there is a collection of monumental sculptures like the bronze Perseus by Benvenuto Cellini or the Rape of the Sabine (Ratto delle Sabine) by Giambologna. This outdoor museum originally consisted of the Ammannati’s Neptune Fountain, the Bandinelli’s Ercole and Caco and the replica of Michelangelo’s David!
Then we stop at The Porcellino Market (Piggy market), the famous leather market. Under this beautiful 16th century porch, you can find the most famous good luck of Florence!!
