Spend a day in the museum

In Florence, you should not miss the opportunity to visit two of the most important museums for ancient, Renaissance and Baroque art: the Galleria degli Uffizi with works by Botticelli, Raphael and Caravaggio and the Galleria dell' Accademia with Michelangelo's David. Other art museums in Florence can also be found in the Palazzo Vecchio and the Palazzo Pitti. Galileo Galilei has his own museum dedicated to science and history at the Museo Galileo.

Tuscan delicacies & wines tasting

It hardly needs any further words: Italian cuisine is among the best the country has to offer. On tours to the wine-growing areas of Tuscany, various grape varieties such as Chianti or Montepulciano can be tasted. All those who would like to learn a few tricks for the kitchen at home are well served with cooking workshops and courses in Florence.

Climb the dome of the cathedral

Climbing under the dome designed by Brunelleschi is one of the best things to do in Florence and a real feast for those interested in art history. The rest of the Cathedral, the Baptistery and the Crypt also make the visit a highlight, as does a visit to the associated Museo dell'Opera del Duomo.

Through the picturesque city center of Florence, a bike tour is the right venture to explore the old town just peppered with palaces and monuments.

Walk through the Boboli Garden

In the 16th century the Boboli Garden, just behind the Palazzo Pitti was laid out, comprising an impressive range of sculptures, fountains and small temples. Some of the artworks and grottoes in the famous garden were designed by important artists of the time, such as Giambologna and Buontalenti. The Giardino di Boboli is not only an impressive sight in Florence, but also the ideal place for a walk or a picnic.
