Start your walk through a unique UNESCO World Heritage site, a mile-long path adorned with the highest concentration of breathtaking monuments and open-air masterpieces in the world! Guided by an expert local, delve into the city's crucial landmarks and unravel the captivating history of the Medici dynasty. This influential family, patrons of the arts, laid the groundwork for the Renaissance, weaving tales of power struggles, secrets, betrayals, and remarkable foresight that gifted the world an invaluable cultural legacy.
Wander the very streets the Medicis stepped, feel the ancient stones of their residences, and behold the monumental structures that they daily lived: from Palazzo Medici Riccardi in the vibrant San Lorenzo district to the awe-inspiring Cathedral with Brunelleschi's Dome. Traverse externally the Vasari Corridor, an elevated marvel connecting the banks of the river Arno, passing over the iconic Ponte Vecchio and Santa Felicita Church—a secret passage utilized by the Medici Grand Dukes to move discreetly between Palazzo Pitti and Palazzo Vecchio.
The grand finale awaits at Pitti Palace, the ultimate Medici residence. As a cherry on top, we present you with an exclusive entrance ticket to Pitti Palace, granting you the freedom to explore the Palatine Gallery, Gallery of Modern Art, the Museum of Fashion and Costume, and the Treasure of the Grand Dukes at your own pace.
