Full description

Visit the Accademia Museum to see Michelangelo's David among other treasures from his era. A summons to another world — where feet tread on cobbled streets amidst an ambiance of grand squares, hemmed in by even grander buildings fronts teeming with life. Piazza della Repubblica: Entertain yourself with street performers and browse through bustling markets while surrounded by stone edifices; what is so special about this place is that it still serves as Florence's center displaying vitality since dynamism first marked it thousands of years ago. From here walk into the heart of Florentine politics during the Renaissance: another square, Piazza Della Signoria. Every cultural event and political gathering, every daily scene depicting life in Florence— all against the backdrop painted by historic structures like Uffizi Gallery or Palazzo Uguccioni when they fill up this mesmerizing space formally known as The Piazza della Signoria. In the center are some statues that people travel from far and wide to see, such as a replica of Michelangelo's David at Neptune's Fountain. Alongside the works at the Loggia dei Lanzi, an open-air museum displaying famous works of art like Cellini's Perseus with the Head of Medusa, these works make the square an outdoor museum of Renaissance art. This tour takes you not only to the heart of Renaissance art but also to the gates of an exciting introduction to Florentine cultural heritage: an opportunity to view this great city, which served as a source of inspiration for artists and a wellspring of creativity throughout history, as well as Brunelleschi's awe-inspiring Duomo — testimony to architectural genius.
