Florence Offers
Moments Worth Chasing
Stand in Awe of David
No photo does it justice. See Michelangelo’s David in person at the Accademia Gallery—flawlessly carved from marble and towering with timeless power.
Climb the Duomo
Take in Brunelleschi’s architectural marvel inside and out. Brave the climb to the top for jaw-dropping views of Florence’s terracotta rooftops and rolling Tuscan hills.
Escape to the Tuscan Countryside
Venture just beyond the city for wine tastings, olive oil samplings, and rustic farm-to-table feasts amid vineyard-covered landscapes.
Cruise the City on a Vespa
Channel your inner Italian and zip through Florence’s cobbled streets or ride out into the countryside for a scenic adventure on two wheels.
Savor Sunset on the Ponte Vecchio
This medieval bridge, lined with glittering jewelry shops, becomes especially magical at golden hour—when the Arno River turns to liquid gold.
