Florence
Experiences
The art and cultural metropolis of Florence is a must for all travelers to Tuscany.
The cathedral of Florence dominates the cityscape and together with the Campanile and the baptistery forms one of the most magnificent works of art that can be admired on this earth. The austerity and beauty of the city, the pride and the constancy of the Florentine is manifested in a unique way in the Palazzo Vecchio. You will visit the interesting sights of the historic district on a certified city tour. Afterwards there will be enough time to admire the jewelry shops on the Ponte Vecchio or to enjoy an Italian espresso.
The Uffizi houses one of the world’s most significant collections of art. There, not only Florentine and Italian works of art are exhibited, but also a variety of foreign paintings and valuable antique sculptures. Some of the most important works are Botticelli’s Birth of Venus and Primavera, Titian’s Venus of Urbino, The Holy Family by Michelangelo as well as Piero della Francesca’s Duke and Duchess of Urbino.
