See Florence come alive from afternoon to evening, blending world-famous art with local stories and hidden corners. Admire Michelangelo’s David at the Accademia Gallery, then explore the city’s hidden side on a guided evening walk, with wine tasting, through its most authentic neighborhoods.
Step inside the world of Michelangelo
Start your Florentine adventure inside the Accademia Gallery, home to Michelangelo’s David — the ultimate symbol of Renaissance genius. With your expert guide, discover the story of this colossal marble statue carved by a young Michelangelo, and understand why it became a timeless emblem of beauty and civic pride. As you explore, admire also the artist’s unfinished Prigioni and San Matteo, which reveal his unique creative process, as well as paintings by Botticelli, Paolo Uccello, and Andrea del Sarto. Each masterpiece tells a story of Florence’s golden age, where art and human spirit intertwined.
Follow Florence after dusk
As the daylight fades, cross the city once more — this time led by your local guide through Florence’s lesser-known streets. Wander past the Loggia del Porcellino and rub the boar’s nose for good luck before continuing to Piazza del Limbo, one of the city’s oldest squares. Stroll along the Vasari Corridor and cross the Ponte Vecchio, learning how this ancient bridge transformed from a butcher’s market into a glittering row of goldsmiths. In Oltrarno, Florence’s most authentic neighborhood, discover its artisan soul and hidden legends — away from the usual tourist paths.
Taste the real Florence
Your walk wouldn’t be complete without a touch of local flavor. Along the way, enjoy a Tuscan delicacy tasting, then stop at one of the city’s historic wine windows, or buchette del vino, for a glass of local wine served just like in centuries past — directly from the wall. In lively Piazza Santo Spirito, feel the vibrant atmosphere of local life, where artisan workshops, trattorias, and cafés keep Florence’s traditions alive. As night falls over the Arno, you’ll realize that Florence isn’t just a city to visit — it’s a story to experience.
