Overview

Discover Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, with a day trip from Bologna aboard the Italo high-speed train in first class. Upon arrival, meet your guide and the rest of the group for a walking tour through elegant squares, ancient markets and iconic bridges, admiring the masterpieces that make Florence one of the most fascinating cities in the world. Be enchanted by the stories and legends that intertwine in the narrow streets and culminate in front of the majestic Duomo and Brunelleschi's Dome.

On certain days of the week, you can enrich your experience with exclusive entry to the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, thanks to a skip-the-line ticket and a certified guide who will lead you on a discovery of the largest masonry dome ever built. Admire the frescoes of the Last Judgement and the polychrome marble of the façade, and continue your visit independently to the Museo della Misericordia, included in the ticket price.

Activity itinerary

Piazza della Repubblica

  • 15m
One of Florence's most elegant squares, it has been the heart of city life since Roman times. Today it is home to historic and refined cafés, where artists and intellectuals used to meet to discuss art and literature. Surrounded by arcades and 19th-century buildings, Piazza della Repubblica is the perfect place to start discovering modern Florence, which dialogues with its glorious past.

Ponte Vecchio

  • 15m
An undisputed symbol of Florence, the Ponte Vecchio is one of the most photographed places in the world. Having survived wars and floods, it is famous for its goldsmiths' shops, which still retain their ancient artisan charm. Walking along the bridge, you can enjoy an enchanting view of the Arno and the city skyline, while breathing in an atmosphere suspended in time.

Piazza della Signoria

  • 20m
The political and artistic heart of Florence, Piazza della Signoria is a veritable open-air museum. Here stand the majestic Palazzo Vecchio and the Loggia dei Lanzi, which houses sculptural masterpieces such as Cellini's Perseus and Giambologna's Rape of the Sabine Women. Every stone tells the storey of Medici power and the great artistic revolutions that marked the Renaissance.

Duomo - Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore

  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Il simbolo per eccellenza della città. La Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore, con la sua straordinaria cupola progettata da Brunelleschi, rappresenta un capolavoro assoluto dell’ingegno umano. La facciata in marmi policromi e gli affreschi interni del Giudizio Universale lasciano senza fiato. Un’esperienza unica per scoprire la storia e la spiritualità che animano il cuore di Firenze. L'ingresso a questa attrazione è incluso solo se selezioni l'opzione che prevede anche quest'esperienza aggiuntiva. In questo caso sarà previsto un tour guidato di 30 minuti con guida turistica certificata e accesso riservato al Duomo di Firenze.
