Florence is art, history, and architecture. Enjoy the best this elegant city has to offer in 1 day, including the picturesque Arno River, the imposing Cathedral (Duomo), and the charming squares. Complete your experience with a visit to the Uffizi and Accademia galleries.

Hop aboard your comfortable bus and head to Piazzale Michelangelo. Enjoy the stunning views before traveling through the historic city center. Florence Cathedral, topped by Brunelleschi's dome, and Palazzo Vecchio, the city's impressive town hall, dominate the Florentine skyline. Hear the stories and spot the details that bring these sights to life.

Conclude the first part of your tour at the Accademia Gallery, home to Michelangelo's renowned statue of David, and spend as much time as you wish exploring the museum.
