Florence, Guided Bike Tour to Discover the Secrets

Florence, known as the birthplace of the Renaissance, is a city in Italy that exudes history, art, and culture. This enchanting city, located in the heart of Tuscany, captivates visitors with its stunning architecture, world-class museums, and charming streets. One of the most iconic landmarks in Florence is the magnificent Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, also known as the Duomo. Art lovers flock to Florence to admire masterpieces housed in the Uffizi Gallery, such as Botticelli's "The Birth of Venus" and da Vinci's "Annunciation." The city is a living museum, with every corner telling a story of artistic genius. Florence's beauty extends beyond its art and architecture; the city's vibrant culture and warm hospitality make it a destination that leaves a lasting impression on all who visit. Whether you're exploring the winding streets or gazing at the sunset over the Ponte Vecchio, Florence is a place where history and beauty converge to create an unforgettable experience.

Santa Maria del Fiore is one of the largest churches in the world. he title “Santa Maria del Fiore” (Lady of the flower) alludes to the name of the city, "Florentia", or “city of flowers”, “destined to bloom”, and to its emblem, the Florentine lily.

"My St. John, the beautiful", as Dante called it, the monument we see today, consecrated in 1059 by Pope Niccolò II, is perhaps the result of an expansion of a primitive 4th century baptistery. Since the Middle Ages and until recently, it was instead believed that the structure had originated as a pagan temple dedicated to the god Mars, then in the Christian era converted to a church.

Piazza della Repubblica is the most famous squares in Florence, the centre of the Roman city. The exact present site of the Colonna dell'Abbondanza marks the intersection of the axes of the cardo and dicomano.

Palazzo Strozzi perfectly embodies the aristocratic palazzi of the Renaissance used to house the family, with their ground plans so regular that they often required the demolition of pre-existing constructions.

It is certainly the fanciest street in Florence, with its world famous brands, wide sidewalks and beautiful buildings,

Walking around the centre of Florence, it’s easy to get lost admiring the masterpieces of the Renaissance and to overlook the tiny “Buchette del vino”.

The Ferragamo family founded the museum in May 1995 to acquaint an international audience with the artistic qualities of Salvatore Ferragamo and the role he played in the history of footwear and international fashion.

Built very close to the Roman crossing, the Ponte Vecchio, or Old Bridge, was the only bridge across the Arno in Florence until 1218. The current bridge was rebuilt after a flood in 1345. During World War II it was the only bridge across the Arno that the fleeing Germans did not destroy

Tradition has it that it’s good luck to touch the statue’s nose, so every day hundreds of people give the boar a stroke hopeful that some of the good fortune will brush off on them. But hardly anyone knows the full ritual: while rubbing the nose with one hand you should hold a coin in the animal’s open mouth and let it drop there. If the coin falls through the grating, it’s good luck “guaranteed”. If not, you should try again.

Palazzo della Signoria – also known as the Old Palace – is the Florence City Hall, a museum and one of the most visited monuments in the cradle of the Renaissance.
