As you begin your stroll towards Palazzo Vecchio, marvel at the statues and fountains flanking the main facade.
Your private tour continues through the charming streets where Michelangelo, Dante Alighieri, and Botticelli once walked. You’ll stop in the Piazza della Repubblica, once home to an Ancient Roman Forum and now lined with quaint cafes and hotels. Admire the unique Duomo, made of green, white, and pink local marble, crowned with Brunelleschi’s Dome, an engineering marvel inspired by the magnificent engineering of the Pantheon in Rome. This majestic dome has earned its place as a permanent fixture in the skyline of Florence.
Next, explore the Baptistery, an eight-sided building next to the Cathedral of Florence, known by Italians as the Duomo.
