Stop 1
Piazza della Santissima Annunziata
Florence begins here. A perfectly balanced Renaissance square, Europe's first orphanage, and a church where brides still leave bouquets. Quietly extraordinary and almost always overlooked.

Stop 2
Landmark
Galleria dell’Accademia di Firenze
One plain building. One seventeen-foot giant carved from abandoned marble. The Accademia doesn't try to impress from the outside, which makes what's waiting inside all the more extraordinary.

Stop 3
Landmark
il Mercato Centrale Firenze
Leather, noise, and the smell of street food give way to a Victorian iron and glass market hall where Florence eats, argues, and comes alive. Ground floor tradition, upper floor delicious chaos.

Stop 7
Landmark
Piazza del Duomo
Florence at full volume. Marble, mosaics, bronze doors, and a dome that shouldn't exist but does. This square is where the Renaissance stopped being a movement and became a masterpiece.

Stop 13
Landmark
Ponte Vecchio
A bridge that doesn't look like one. Jewellers, golden light, the Arno below, and a private Medici corridor running silently overhead. One of Europe's oldest bridges, and still the most theatrical.

Landmark
Piazza della Signoria
No walls, no ticket, no barriers. This open air museum is where Florence announced power, burned its enemies, and carved its identity into stone. You're not entering it. You're already insi
