Activity itinerary

Piazza del Duomo

Walking by bike through Piazza del Duomo, you find yourself immersed in the beating heart of the city. The majestic Duomo dominates the scene with its imposing Gothic facade, among spires and statues that seem to touch the sky. Around, the square is teeming with life: tourists looking up, pigeons flying and the background music of street artists. Cycling slowly allows you to capture every detail: the elegant windows of Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, the scents of historic bars and the harmony between history and modernity that makes this place unique.

Piazza della Repubblica

Piazza della Repubblica is one of the most elegant and wide squares in the city. Characterised by its semicircular shape and the nineteenth-century buildings that surround it, it conveys a sense of order and majesty. In the centre there is often a fountain or lively meeting point, while historic cafes and fine shops animate the arcades. It is a place of passage but also of rest, where history and modernity come together in a refined and dynamic atmosphere.

Piazza della Signoria

Piazza della Signoria, in the heart of Florence, is a true open-air museum. Dominated by the imposing Palazzo Vecchio, it tells centuries of history and power. At its feet, the Loggia dei Lanzi houses famous Renaissance sculptures, such as Cellini's Perseus and the Rape of the Sabine Women. The copy of Michelangelo’s David stands next to the entrance to the palace, the symbol of the city. Among tourists, street artists and the sound of footsteps on the pavement, the square retains a timeless charm, the cradle of Florentine art and culture.

Ponte Vecchio

The Ponte Vecchio is one of the most iconic symbols of Florence. Built on the Arno river, it impresses with its characteristic craft shops, now occupied by jewellers and goldsmiths, which overlook the water like small suspended houses. Walking through its arches, you can breathe a unique atmosphere, between history, art and romance. Above the bridge runs the Vasari Corridor, a secret passage wanted by the Medici. At sunset, the bridge glows with a golden light that makes it even more striking.

Palazzo Pitti

10m
Admission ticket not included

Piazza Pitti opens majestically in front of the imposing facade of Palazzo Pitti, the historic residence of the Medici. Spacious and intimate, it is surrounded by elegant buildings and dominated by Renaissance charm. The square is a quiet resting place, where you can sit on the steps of the palace and admire the grandeur of the architecture. From here you can also access the wonderful Boboli Gardens, the green lung of the city. Piazza Pitti combines art, history and quiet in one of the most fascinating corners of Florence.

Piazzale Michelangelo

Piazzale Michelangelo is the most famous viewpoint in Florence. Located on a hill, it offers a breathtaking view of the city: the Duomo, Palazzo Vecchio, the Ponte Vecchio and the Arno stand out in an unforgettable glance. In the centre of the square there is a bronze copy of Michelangelo's David, a tribute to the Renaissance genius. It is the ideal place to watch the sunset over Florence, among tourists, photographers and street musicians. A romantic and evocative corner, perfect for capturing the soul of the city.

Basilica of Santa Croce

10m
Admission ticket not included

Piazza Santa Croce is one of the largest and most suggestive squares in Florence. Dominated by the splendid Basilica of Santa Croce, with its neo-Gothic marble facade, it is a place rich in history and spirituality. Great figures such as Michelangelo, Galileo and Machiavelli are buried here. The square is often animated by cultural events and historical re-enactments, such as the Calcio Storico Fiorentino. Surrounded by elegant palaces and lively cafes, it is a meeting point between art, memory and everyday life in Florence.
