Welcome to Florence—and what a welcome it is. Your certified Florence guide meets you with the enthusiasm of someone sharing their beloved city with honored guests. This isn't just any guide; this is an expert deeply versed in Florence's Renaissance heritage, its Medici intrigue, its artistic revolutions, and its hidden treasures. Their passion is infectious, their knowledge encyclopedic, and their storytelling? Absolutely captivating. Your journey begins at the legendary Ponte Vecchio—Florence's oldest bridge and perhaps its most romantic. Built in 1345, this isn't just any bridge; it's a medieval shopping mall suspended over the Arno River, where jewelers and goldsmiths have plied their trade for centuries. The Medicis once walked a secret corridor above these shops, safely traveling from their palace to government offices without mingling with commoners below.

Полюбуйтесь Флорентийским собором и его комплексом, включающим баптистерий и кампанилу Джотто. В совокупности эти три монументальных сооружения составляют часть исторического центра Флоренции, объекта Всемирного наследия ЮНЕСКО, признанного за его глубокое влияние на искусство и архитектуру. Посетители могут погрузиться в многовековую историю, искусство и культуру, исследуя эти замечательные сооружения.

Step into Florence's political heart, unchanged since the 14th century. Piazza della Signoria isn't just a beautiful square—it's an open-air sculpture gallery where art and power have always been inseparable. The imposing Palazzo Vecchio dominates one side, its medieval tower still standing guard over the city. This fortress-palace was where the Medicis ruled Florence, where Machiavelli wrote The Prince, where political intrigue shaped the Renaissance itself. The building's rough stone exterior tells of a time when even government buildings had to double as defensive strongholds. But what steals the show? The sculptures. A replica of Michelangelo's David stands exactly where the original once proclaimed Florentine independence. The Fountain of Neptune—Ammannati's controversial masterpiece—celebrates Florence's maritime ambitions. The Loggia dei Lanzi showcases bronze and marble masterpieces including Cellini's Perseus and Giambologna's Rape of the Sabine Women.

Now it’s your turn to be Florentine. In the Central Market Square we set you free—time to taste, shop, explore, and simply be in Florence at your own pace. This isn’t a tourist trap—it’s where locals buy produce, trattorias serve centuries-old recipes, and the real Florence shows itself to curious wanderers. Your choices? A fresh panino with mozzarella and prosciutto, a glass of Chianti as life passes by, handmade leather goods, ribollita, bistecca alla fiorentina, or the creamiest gelato in Italy—pistachio or stracciatella, you decide. Or just wander. Lose yourself in Renaissance streets, artisan workshops, tiny boutiques and photo-perfect corners that need no filter. Your Tuscan moment awaits—couple hours to fall in love with Florence on your own terms.
