Florence, cradle of the Renaissance, pulses with art, architecture, and human inspiration. The Duomo (Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore), with its dome by Brunelleschi, dominates the skyline. The Uffizi Gallery, Accademia (David), and Ponte Vecchio bridge the Arno in stone and history.
Winding lanes like Via dei Calzaiuoli, historic palaces, courtyard gardens, and façade detail invite lingering. Boboli Gardens, Bargello, and Medici palaces layer green space and sculpture between stone walls. The Arno’s banks show reflection in the evening light; bridges open views over water and rooftops.
Florence’s artisan shops, leather markets, café culture, and gelato lines breathe daily life around masterpieces. In twilight, light softens columns and facades into ochre and shadow.
With Atlas Tours, your Florence itinerary includes early Uffizi visits, Duomo rooftop access, guided walks through historic quarters, lodging near the center, and pacing that allows time between masterpieces.
