The city of Florence is a place of incredible beauty, whose sights and sounds have stunned people the world over, and whose history is considered to have birthed the renaissance movement. One of the wealthiest places in medieval Europe, Florence has built a huge variety of immaculate historical landmarks – and if you want to cover as much of it as possible without dedicating your entire trip to staying there, this tour may be exactly what you’re looking for.
In this highly customizable experience, you’ll get to pick which parts of Florence you’ll see as you walk and drive through cobbled streets, past enchanting fountains, and along incredible vistas. Your entrances to two incredible galleries, Accademia and Uffizi, are included as part of this breathtaking experience.
The Accademia Gallery is home to the works of Michelangelo, whose skill with paint and marble has made him one of the greatest artists the world has ever known. His most famous work, the Statue of David, is often considered to be the most famous statue in the world – and it is but one example of Michelangelo’s masterful craftsmanship. That statue, and so many more of Michelangelo’s greatest works, are enshrined in Accademia’s immaculate halls.
The halls of the Uffizi Gallery are a place of unmatched prestige, Inheriting much of its collection from the House of Medici, an elite Italian political dynasty. The gallery once contained so many exquisite works that it could not properly contain them, instead focusing on refining its collection and sending other valuable works to Italy’s various galleries and museums. But after a massive-scale expansion, the Uffizi Gallery has grown even beyond its peerless greatness – becoming a must-see site for any Italian tour.
