Keen to explore beautiful Florence at your own pace?

Santa Croce Square is one of the city’s prettiest piazzas and the perfect place to start your day of discovery. Say goodbye to your escort here and head off into the enchanting streets which are drenched in art and history. 

Wander around Piazza della Signoria and you might feel like you’re in an open-air museum. Here you can gaze up at the 300-foot bell tower of the Palazzo Vecchio, admire the copy of Michelangelo’s famous David statue and marvel at the bronze Fountain of Neptune.

If you have a head for heights, pay a visit to Florence’s awe-inspiring cathedral and climb up inside its dome for unrivalled views across the city. Or, if you prefer to sightsee at street level, why not relax outside a shaded café and treat yourself to lunch while watching the world go by? It’s all up to you.
