Tour description
Our afternoon tour will take you to discover the most authentic soul of Florence: the Oltrarno.
Starting from the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella, we will cross the elegant Via Tornabuoni, the heart of Florentine fashion. Among the windows of Italian and international brands, you will admire elegant 19th-century palaces, witnesses of the brief period when Florence was the capital of Italy.
We will stop at the majestic Palazzo Strozzi, a Renaissance jewel built by a powerful family rivaling the Medici. Next, we will reach Piazza Santa Trinita, with its church rich in history, and cross the Ponte Santa Trinita, a Renaissance bridge with an unforgettable view of Ponte Vecchio.
This will lead us to the Oltrarno, the most charming and authentic district of Florence. Here you will discover a more intimate Florence, full of artisan workshops, goldsmiths, restaurateurs, unique museums, and gardens where the city's traditions still thrive.
We will stroll through the picturesque alleys, cross Piazza della Passera, and reach the lively Santo Spirito district, known for its bars, trattorias, and vibrant local life.
Before concluding, we will visit Piazza Pitti, dominated by the imposing Palazzo Pitti, the last residence of the Medici and today home to important museums like the Palatine Gallery.
The tour ends near Ponte Vecchio: you can cross it and explore the historic center or continue to immerse yourself in the bohemian atmosphere of the Oltrarno. How to conclude this unforgettable tour is up to you!
