What To Expect

The capital of Italy's Tuscany region, Florence was the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance in the 14th century and boasts an abundance of artistic masterpieces among its world-class museums, statue-filled piazzas, historic cathedrals and distinctive architecture. Take a break from the canals of Venice to visit this urban homage to the arts.On the morning of your tour, head to Venice's Santa Lucia Station and hop aboard a comfortable high-speed train and settle in for the scenic, 2-hour journey to Florence, which lies approximately 160 miles (260 km) to the south of Venice. Once you arrive in Florence, climb aboard an open-top, double-decker bus and design your own itinerary by getting off and on at any of 15 stops along the sightseeing route. Visit the central Cathedral of Santa Maria dei Fiori to climb to the top of the iconic Brunelleschi's Dome, or ogle Michelangelo's famous David sculpture at the Accademia Gallery. Admire the wares of goldsmiths' shops that line the Ponte Vecchio bridge, or relax among the lush landscaping and statuary of Boboli Gardens. View a jaw-dropping collection of Renaissance paintings at the Ufizzi Gallery, or simply wander through charming piazzas and winding medieval streets, which appear little changed from centuries ago. When you're ready for a break, settle into a sidewalk seat at a local caf e to watch daily Florentine life go by or enjoy a sweet scoop from one of the city's famed gelaterias (all entry tickets and meals are at your own expense).
