Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, Botticelli, Fra Angelico, Giotto, Donatello, Brunelleschi, Galilei, Cellini, Dante, Machiavelli, and Savonarola are only a few names that made the history of Florence, one of the best places to visit in Italy.

Piazzale Michelangelo and Pitti Palace

Piazzale Michelangelo is a neoclassical terrace dedicated to the famous artist, overlooking Florence and its river. Your private guide will make an introduction to the history of Florence, strictly related to its art masterpieces. The 14th-century Palazzo Pitti houses great art collections like the Palatine Gallery, one of Florence’s most visited galleries. The richly decorated rooms are a masterpiece themselves. Raphael, Titian, Correggio, Rubens, Pietro da Cortona, and other Italian and European masters of the Renaissance and Baroque periods are the museum’s core. The Pitty Palace is located in a marvelous architectural park, Boboli Gardens-

NOTE: Upon request and availability, we can book the Uffizi or the Accademia, instead of the Pitti Palace, which is, anyway, highly recommended.

On Monday, all Florence museums are closed, and our local guide will bring you to Palazzo Vecchio.
The 14th-century fortress-like palace, once the residence of the Medici family, is now the municipality’s seat. Inside, you will admire the incredibly decorated museum’s rooms, with works by Michelangelo Buonarroti, Donatello, and Verrocchio.
