the Duomo. On your visit, you will be amazed by its magnificent dome built by Filippo Brunelleschi. Cross a small

Giotto) and the Baptistery, with its bronze doors where Michelangelo imagined the “Gates of Paradise.” In the heart
of the city, you will see Piazza della Signoria, Palazzo della
Signoria (also known as Palazzo Vecchio), and the Basilica of Santa Croce. Lunch in a typical Tuscan restaurant
in Piazza Santa Croce. Spend the afternoon strolling the
cobblestone streets of Florence on your own or take a
short trip to Pisa (optional), one of the four main historical

dei Miracoli with the Duomo, Pisa’s symbol “the Leaning
Tower” and the Baptistery. Dinner at leisure, overnight
stay in Florence.
