Accademia Gallery

Your journey begins at the Accademia Gallery, where you'll marvel at Michelangelo's David, chiseled meticulously over 3 years from a rough block of marble. Apart from scores of artwork, the Accademia also quietly houses a remarkable collection of musical instruments, reflecting the city’s heritage as a hub for instrument manufacturing!

Florence Cathedral

Next, step into the grandeur of the Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral, where a blend of Gothic and Renaissance styles awaits. Walk on a multi-colored marble floor, admire the stained glass windows, look up to Brunelleschi's expansive frescoed dome – the largest masonry dome ever built, and learn about the cathedral's unique clock.

Uffizi Gallery

The finale of your journey is a 1.5-hour guided tour of the iconic Uffizi Gallery, where masterpieces by the likes of Botticelli and Da Vinci reside. You'll bypass the usually long queues with the skip-the-line feature, enhancing your experience. Fun fact: the Uffizi was originally a magistrate's office up until the 18th-century before becoming the world-renowned public art museum it is today!
