Your English speaking driver will pick you up at the parking area in La Spezia, where vehicles are allowed to stop. You’ll need to take the shuttle from the ship to reach it.
A scenic drive through the Tuscan countryside will take you to the city of Florence.
The world’s most important works of art are located in Italy and approximately half of these are in Florence…The cultural and historical impact of Florence is overwhelming. Florence is the city of the Medici family, who brought to its Court all of the most important Italian Renaissance Artists, completely transforming this amazing city into one of the most beautiful in the world.
The tour of Florence begins at the square of Michelangelo, which offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the city. You will stop by the Santa Croce Church, where several of the most famous Italian artists and scientists are buried: (Michelangelo, Donatello and Galileo to name a few). Then continue with a stroll around Signoria Square, where you will see an outdoor gallery displaying Florence’s most famous sculpture (many are copies and the originals are now in museums) and the Palazzo Vecchio, the famous Duomo to see the Baptistery (Ghiberti’s doors were called the Gates of Paradise) and Giotto’s Bell Tower. You will also see The Old Bridge and Pitti Palace and the Uffizzi*. After lunch you can visit the most notable museum of Florence, the Accademia* where you can see the original statue of David by Michelangelo and numerous other notable artists and sculptors.
