Italy - Florence Historical

Our historical exploration of this Tuscan gem includes the Accademia and Uffizi Galleries, the medieval Ponte Vecchio and the Basilica of the Most Holy Annunciation. The tour shows you several picturesque piazzas, pompous palazzos and a famous bronze boar known as Porcellino. The route takes in monuments to Ferdinando, the Grand Duke of Tuscany as well as the poet Dante, born here but banished into exile. We also discover how the Arno River brought huge wealth to Florence and find out how the Medicis commuted to work in style along the Vasari Corridor.
