Stroll the medieval streets and visit the Straw Market, where you can rub the nose of the famous “Porcellino” for good luck. Continue to the iconic Piazza della Signoria, a spectacular open-air museum. See the impressive Palazzo Vecchio and end the tour at Ponte Vecchio, Florence’s oldest and most famous bridge.
If option selected, visit the interior of the Cathedral with your guide. Marvel at its vast nave, Bandinelli’s marble choir, stained-glass masterpieces, and Vasari’s frescoes inside the Dome.
