Get your bearings with a guided walk through the heart of Florence. Then, set out on your own to continue the day’s adventures. Start with a scenic drive from La Spezia to Italy’s Renaissance city. Stop at a leather factory along the way and do a little shopping. Once in Florence, follow an expert guide through the city center. Enter the Piazza del Duomo to view its dominating Cathedral, Bell Tower and Baptistery. Continue to La Signoria Square, the city’s largest plaza, where a copy of Michelangelo’s iconic “David” proudly stands. Reach the Church of Santa Croce, often called “Italy’s Westminster Abbey” due to the monarchy buried inside. Say goodbye to your guide here and begin a three-hour exploration of your own. Shop fine Italian boutiques. Grab a lunch at a local bistro. Tour the city’s museums. Go inside its churches and cathedrals. See and do whatever you desire.
