Walking Tours
Best of Florence: Must-See Places
69 min2.8 km9 stops
Walk through the heart of Renaissance Florence, from Michelangelo's David to the golden dome of the cathedral, the civic square where the Medici ruled, the world's greatest Renaissance art collection, and the shop-lined Ponte Vecchio over the Arno. This compact, mostly flat loop through the historic centre starts near the Accademia Gallery and finishes across the river in the authentic Oltrarno quarter, taking in the city's unmissable landmarks in the order a first-time visitor should see them.
Florence: The Medici Murders
65 min2.8 km8 stops
Florence built its Renaissance glory on Medici money and Medici blood. This documentary-style walk follows the family's darkest chapters: the 1478 Pazzi conspiracy's attempt to slaughter the Medici during Easter Mass at the Duomo, the brutal public reprisals at Palazzo Vecchio, a duke murdered by his own cousin, and a Grand Duke's unexplained death that closed the dynasty's first great line. The walk begins at the Medici family crypt near San Lorenzo, an easy walk from the Duomo, and ends across the Arno at the Pitti Palace.
