Florence Mysteries & Legends Tour Itinerary
Renaissance palaces, Medieval churches, streets that could be straight out of a tale of duelling swordsmen... The Tuscan capital is full of nooks and crannies that have been witness to any number of mysterious events over the course of its history. Throughout this walking tour of Florence at nightfall, you will get to know the legends and secrets hidden in its ancient streets.
Begin your route in the winding streets of Florence city centre. As you stroll through Piazza del Duomo, passing the iconic Baptistery, Campanile di Giotto and Florence Cathedral, you'll hear about the Miracle of the Flowering Tree and discover who it was who brought a dead elm tree back to life. Constructed on the wall of the cathedral, you'll be able to see a curious sculpture of a bull. Do you know the legend behind this unusual church decoration?
Continue your walking tour to the Church of Santa Margherita dei Cerchi where you'll learn the story of the secret love between Dante and Beatriz. You'll then head over to Palazzo Vecchio to discover the intriguing tales of the Medici family, who ruled Florence in the 16th and 17th centuries.
Admire what has become an open-air sculpture gallery as you wander through the Piazza della Signoria to the world-famous Uffizi Galleries. The wings of this palace contain one of the most important collections of Renaissance art in the world, donated to the city of Florence by the Medicis in 1737.
The final stop on your tour will be the Ponte Vecchio, the site of countless mysterious occurrences since the Middle Ages. Your tour will finish in front of Palazzo Pitti.
