Overview

Enjoy an unforgettable full-day trip from Milan to Florence and travel comfortably by high-speed train.
Begin your day with a guided walking tour led by a professional local guide. Explore the historic Medici district, visiting highlights like the Medici Chapels. Admire the stunning Florence Cathedral (Duomo), with Brunelleschi’s Dome, Giotto’s Bell Tower, and the Baptistery of San Giovanni. Stroll the medieval streets and visit the Straw Market, where you can rub the nose of the famous “Porcellino” for good luck. Continue to the iconic Piazza della Signoria, a spectacular open-air museum. See the impressive Palazzo Vecchio and end the tour at Ponte Vecchio, Florence’s oldest and most famous bridge.
If option selected, visit the interior of the Cathedral with your guide. Marvel at its vast nave, Bandinelli’s marble choir, stained-glass masterpieces, and Vasari’s frescoes inside the Dome.
Enjoy free time to explore, shop, or relax before heading back to Milan by train in the evening.
