City Sightseeing Florence Hop-On Hop-Off Tour

 

Delve into the heart of the romantic region of Tuscany, wherein lies the most representative city of the Renaissance: Florence. Widely acknowledged to be one of the most beautiful cities in Italy, as you explore the stony streets of Florence aboard our comfortable tour bus you will feel like you are exploring the ideal Italy you had always dreamed about; musicians playing serenades on the streets, breath-taking architecture, more high culture and history than can fit in any library and, of course, delicious Italian food.

Highlights
- Create your own itinerary
- Hop on and off as many times as you want
- Explore the ancient Etruscan-Roman archaeological area

Explore the cradle of Renaissance at your own leisure as you enjoy unlimited travel through the city on a hop-on hop-off open top bus. Surrounded by the Apennine mountain range, Florence lies snuggled in a fertile valley around which the charming Tuscan vineyards and olive groves reach out towards the horizon.

On this tour of one of the most iconic Italian cities, not only will you be able to lose yourself in the contemplation of the marvellous surroundings, but you will also be able to meander through the countless world-famous art galleries and museums that line the streets of Florence.

Set eyes, for instance, on the sublime figure of David, sculpted by the deft hands of Michelangelo; on the hauntingly beautiful Venus of Botticelli; or even on architectonic wonders such as the Duomo, with its marble facade that glows majestically in the golden sunlight.

Save time as you criss-cross the city admiring the panoramic views of the historic centre of the Medieval and Renaissance town, the small craft workshops and stylish boutiques.

Do not miss a visit to the Etruscan-Roman archaeological area in Fiesole, just a few kilometres from the city and marvel at the remains of the Roman baths and the Roman amphitheatre. If you are feeling brave, why not climb to the top of the hill to the monastery of San Francesco? It will be worth it for the spectacular bird’s eye views of Florence!
