The impressive monuments, churches and buildings will totally charm you. Do not miss one of the most important attractions – Duomo di Santa Mario del Fiore, built by Filippo Brunelleschi. Cross the piazzeta to contemplate the ‘’Campanile’’ tower, a masterpiece co-desgined by Giotto, and the Baptistery, with the ‘’Gates of Paradise’’ – bronze doors created by the one and only Michelangelo. Piazza de la Signoria, Palazzo de la Signoria (Palazzo Vecchio), and the Basilica of Santa Croce await for you in the heart of Florence. Lunch will be served in Piazza Santa Croce, in a typical Tuscan restaurant. Then you can enjoy strolling the streets of Florence in the afternoon, or go for a short visit to one of the four main historical Marine Republics of Italy – Pisa (optional).

Dinner will be savored at leisure and you’ll sleep the night in Florence.

After having the last breakfast in Florence, you’ll depart to a new exciting city – Bologna. The elegant city center with its ‘’porticos’’ and the shopping streets of Bologna will make this destination an unforgettable one. The itinerary starts at Piazza Malpighi and then takes you in the heart of the city to Piazza del Nettuno and Piazza Maggiore (Neptune and Major squares) and then to King Rezon’s Palace. It’s worth mentioning that Palazzo Podestà and the basilica of San Petronio are ones of the biggest in the world.
