E1E2E3 - A Weekend in Florence to discover the Great Art of the Renaissance. Not to miss! small groups

In the evening, the streets of Florence are emptied of the huge crowds of tourists and the city of the Florentines returns. You will experience it with us on a pleasant stroll that begins on Saturday afternoon at the Accademia Gallery, where you can discover the David and the life and works of the great Michelangelo. After the gallery visit, we will wander into the beautiful streets and squares of the old city centre where you can admire the marvellous cathedral complex: the Cathedral with its magnificent dome engineered by Brunelleschi, the Baptistery with the exquisite Porta del Paradiso (Gates of Paradise) and the elegant Campanile (bell tower) designed by Giotto. Then we arrive in Piazza della Signoria, with the sculpture masterpieces of the Loggia dei Lanzi and the imposing Palazzo Vecchio with its crenellated Arnolfo tower, one of the famous symbols of the city. Here you will be served a Prosecco Tasting, enjoying a view of the magnificent illuminated piazza. On Sunday morning our tour begins at Palazzo Pitti and continues along the Vasari Corridor, the picturesque elevated passageway that connects Palazzo Vecchio to Palazzo Pitti, passing by the Uffizi Gallery and the Ponte Vecchio. During the guided walk, we will cross over the Arno on the Ponte Vecchio, enjoying wonderful views of the heart of the old town, and then stroll through the elegant rooms of the Uffizi Gallery. In a chronological itinerary from Cimabue to Masaccio, from Piero della Francesca to Lippi, we then reach the hall of Botticelli, where The Birth of Venus and Primavera are proudly displayed. Next come the works of Leonardo da Vinci, the hall of Michelangelo with the Doni Tondo,and then Raphael and Titian. Our journey continues in the Vasari Corridor, with amazing paintings from the collection of portraits of artists and the breathtaking views of the hills and the Arno river, the bridges, palaces and churches afforded by the line of windows that run along the elevated walkway. It is a face to face encounter with the artists that exists in no other museum in the world, a discovery that will leave with you a truly indelible memory of Florence. All in two unforgettable days!
