Description:

Discover the open-air museum at the center of Florence on this guided walking tour that stops at the Medici Chapels, the Uffizi Gallery, and the Florence Cathedral. Tour the cathedral's interior and admire its impressive fresco-lined dome.

Begin your walking tour of Florence in the Central Market zone, with its workshops and multi-colored stalls. At the Piazza del Duomo, enter the huge cathedral and admire its dome by Brunelleschi, the bell tower by Giotto, and the baptistery with its decorative doors, dubbed by Michelangelo as the “Gates of Paradise.”

Proceed to the picturesque Mercato della Paglia (Straw Market) and its famous Porcellino Fountain. Don’t forget to drop a coin in the piglet’s open mouth and rub his snout, which, according to legend, ensures your return to Florence.

Your updated tour now includes the places described by Dan Brown in his best-selling book “Inferno,” which is set in Florence. Your guide tells the secrets and details of Florence’s highlights as experienced by the characters of the book.
