Arrive at the Duomo

Santa Maria Novella train station is only a few minutes away by foot, and on your way you'll pass Piazza della Signoria on your way.

On this central square you'll also spot the Palazzo Vecchio, one of Florence's most significant historic buildings. It has served as a home to numerous government offices and houses both public and private collections.

Explore the Piazza della Signoria

Piazza della Signoria has been the political heart of Florence since 14th century and today houses Palazzo Vecchio (the town hall), Uffizi Gallery and many important monuments. As one of Florence's most picturesque squares, it's well worth taking time out on foot to explore it and its surrounding areas on foot.

Arnolfo di Cambio, one of Florence's iconic symbols, stands 94 meters high to the right of the main body of the Palace when viewed from Piazza della Signoria.

Visit the Palazzo Vecchio

The iconic Palazzo Vecchio, situated overlooking Piazza della Signoria, is one of Rome's most prominent buildings. Inside it houses Michelangelo's David statue replica.

Florence is also home to some remarkable Renaissance art, including the Uffizi Gallery - the main museum of the Medici family and one of Italy's premier exhibition spaces.

Visit Santa Croce

Florence's Santa Croce neighborhood and its surroundings are vibrantly colored, bustling with tourists during the day and filled with clubs and discos after sundown.

The Basilica of Santa Croce is an iconic example of Gothic architecture. Its vaulted crypt has hosted many illustrious Italians such as Michelangelo, Leonardo Bruni and Galileo within it.

Visit the Basilica of Santa Maria del Fiore

Known affectionately as the Duomo, this stunning church is one of Florence's most renowned landmarks. Decorated with sculptures and frescos, its iconic dome was engineered by Filippo Brunelleschi in 1434 and has dominated Florence's skyline ever since.

The cathedral's crypt is worth exploring and features a marble bust of Brunelleschi that was later carved by his son. Furthermore, the museum displays art treasures that once hung inside the cathedral, such as Donatello's poignant Magdalene.

Visit the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore

Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral in Florence's center is the crowning glory of Renaissance art. Filippo Brunelleschi's stunning dome rises from a vaulted basilica that showcases elements from Roman, Gothic and Renaissance styles.

You'll be in awe at the sheer size and splendor of this church, not to mention all of its stunning artwork inside.

Visit the Ponte Vecchio

Florence is known as one of the world's most romantic cities, and the Ponte Vecchio offers an idyllic spot to take in all that the city has to offer. Lined with jewellers' shops and secured with padlocks - a tradition dating back centuries - it's the perfect spot for couples to make a lasting impression and share a moment together.

The bridge is also an ideal shopping destination, boasting many exclusive brands and artisans. Start your visit with a personal shopping assistant and tour guide who will show you all of the hottest fashion trends and products.

Visit the Uffizi Gallery

Experience one of Florence's greatest museums on a guided tour with us at the Uffizi Gallery! Here, you'll have the chance to view stunning masterpieces created by master Renaissance artists such as Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Giotto and more!

Eike Schmidt, the museum director, is spearheading an initiative that aims to highlight more women artists. She believes they should be celebrated beyond just in a corridor connecting the Uffizi with its sister museum Pitti Palace.

Visit the Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral

Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral, commonly referred to as the Duomo of Florence, is an iconic structure crowned by Brunelleschi's gravity-defying dome. When completed in 15th century, it was the largest church in Europe and remains one of Italy's greatest architectural feats today.

This tour of Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral includes skip-the-line tickets to the Baptistery, Bell Tower, Dome and Museo dell'Opera del Duomo (Cathedral Museum). With your guide's passionate commentary you'll gain an in-depth understanding of Renaissance art, Florence's Medici family, and more with this insightful experience.

Visit the Santa Maria del Fiore Basilica

Tourists arriving in Florence are mesmerized by the magnificent cupola atop Santa Maria del Fior Basilica (the Duomo). Lines can stretch for 500 feet long, waiting an hour for views of beautiful mosaic floors, clocks and frescos if they crane their necks and squint.

A majestic cathedral is a testament to the power of a city, and when the Florentine Republic wanted to build one larger than their previous structure, they hired Arnolfo di Cambio and began work on the ambitious venture.

Girona

We visited the city of Girona quite often, but, surprisingly, all our visits were connected with the local airport – one of Russian low-cost airlines brings tourists there. And almost all the time, we perceived Girona as a “neighborhood of Barcelona” and a kind of “old step” on the way to the big city. It was totally undeserved. Finally, we decided to correct this injustice. I have not seen such enthusiasm to take photos for a long time.   The history of the city begins before our era, because the Iberians who settled these places needed a fortified structure on the road to Gaul, and the Romans needed the same for wars with the Moors . It was the Romans who gave the name “Gerund” to the settlement, which later became Girona. The County of Girona (one of 14 original Catalan counties), which passed under the rule of various ruling dynasties (mainly France and Spain), was formed as a result of various feudal collisions in the Middle Ages.   In relatively recent history, Girona has been da

Nice

  Nice is among the best cities to go to in France and will surely make you glad you decided to spend your vacation there. It lies in the French Riviera region, in Southern France, bordered on one side by the Atlantic Ocean and on the other by the Mediterranean Sea. Nice is also quite a good place to base yourself during your visit for exploring the rich cultural history of this lovely region. In addition to being an attractive tourist destination, Nice has many attractions for travelers to check out. One of the best things about Nice is the diversity of its culture and climate. Because Nice is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea, its weather is often hot and humid, giving Nice the distinction of being the best places to swim during the summer. Other than Nice beaches, there are other great places to enjoy Nice holidays, such as the Picasso Museum, which is well worth a visit, as is the Basilica de Nice. People who enjoy art will find much to appreciate in Nice and the surrounding region

Monaco

Monaco, ruled by Prince Albert II of the Grimaldi dynasty, is one of the few principalities that have survived to this day. The history of this principality is rooted in the depths of centuries, and dates back to the time of the Phoenicians (and this, just think of it, the 10th century BC!). The modern history of Monaco began when the colony of the Genoese Republic was founded in this area in 1215, in then Francesco Grimaldi became a local ruler in 1297 . So, the Grimaldi dynasty has been ruling in Monaco for more than 700 years, from 1297 to our days (of course, given the fact that during this impressive period there were wars and regime changes in Europe, as a result of which Monaco passed under the protectorate of various states).   The most significant personalities that influenced the fate of the principality during the 20th century include Aristotle Onassis, who significantly strengthened the Monaco economy with his investments, and Prince Rainier III, who developed the country’s
