EVERY DAY AT 6.00 PM WHERE WE GO If you’re in Florence in the evening, don’t miss our sunset tour! Walking through the streets of the historic center, we’ll admire Renaissance palaces like Palazzo Strozzi and those built during the time when Florence was the capital of Italy in the 19th century. With a brief stop at the Ponte Santa Trinita—a Renaissance bridge offering a stunning view of the Ponte Vecchio—and after crossing the Arno River, we’ll head to the other side of Florence known as Oltrarno, one of the city’s most charming neighborhoods, where many locals still reside today. The narrow streets and piazzas we pass through are true gems, filled with artisanal workshops, culinary treats, and steeped in history. It’s an ideal spot for shopping and maybe even enjoying a romantic dinner in a quaint, authentically Florentine setting away from the crowds! Our journey concludes at Piazza Pitti, where you can marvel at the grand Palazzo Pitti, now housing various museums, once an ancestral residence of the Medici family. Finally, we’ll finish the tour at Ponte Vecchio. Cross over while taking in the sight of its timeless shops before continuing toward Piazza della Signoria or heading up to the Duomo. Or why not stroll back across the Arno to experience the vibrant nightlife alongside local Florentines?

Rubbing the pig’s nose is said to guarantee your return to Florence. Finally, we will reach Piazza della Signoria, the perfect spot to demonstrate the might of the Florentine Republic. Here, we will discuss Palazzo Vecchio, the city’s town hall, and the gallery of statues located in the nearby Loggia dei Lanzi—one of Italy’s most significant public spaces.
