Experience the jewel of the Renaissance with a guided walking tour rich in cultural and artistic significance. Your scenic motorcoach ride from Livorno brings you to the city's center and your first stop, the Accademia (Academy of Fine Arts), home to Michelangelo's most famous sculpture, David. From here, you'll follow your guide to the Piazza del Duomo and one of Florence's most recognizable landmarks - the Duomo, or "The Dome" that graces the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. Consecrated in 1436, it's the fourth largest church in the world. Nearby is the ancient Baptistery with its famed bronze doors. A short walk further brings you to the Piazza della Signoria, Florence's governmental center adorned with magnificent statues. Photograph Ponte Vecchio Bridge, and savor a first-class lunch. Refreshed, explore the renowned Uffizi Museum and Gallery, one of the oldest and most famous museums of the Western world. Return to port.
