As you wander Florence's cobblestone streets, you’ll notice wine windows, a 16th-century creation by Cosimo de Medici to allow tax-free wine sales. These windows were fundamental during the 1600s plague for safe transactions, much like COVID-19 precautions, and today, 285 preserved windows remain, some of which are still active. Your local guide will share more about these unique features throughout your walk in Florence.

Following this, head to one of the most beautiful architectural sites in Italy, the Florence Cathedral, formally known as the Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore (Duomo di Firenze). Begun in 1296 in the Gothic style and designed by Arnolfo di Cambio, the cathedral complex in Piazza del Duomo includes the Baptistery and Giotto's Campanile. These three buildings are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site covering the historic center of Florence and are major tourist attractions in Tuscany.

In addition to famous squares like Piazza del Duomo and Piazza della Signoria, you can also visit Piazza della Repubblica. In Roman times, it featured bathhouses, temples, forums, and markets. After 1000, it became a market known as the old market. In the 1600s, Cosimo I established a Jewish ghetto there. The current square was designed between 1865-1871, when Florence was the capital of Italy. During the city's redevelopment, Il Risanamento, the area was demolished and redesigned into the rectangular square we see today, complete with the iconic carousel.

Piazza della Signoria originated in the early 1330s as a meeting place for the city council. Today, the Palazzo Vecchio, meaning "old palace," serves as the gathering spot for government officials. The square also functions as an open-air museum, displaying numerous original statues from the Italian Renaissance.

When you think of Florence, Ponte Vecchio is surely one of the first attractions that comes to mind, right? This picturesque "old bridge" has been intertwined with the life of Florentine people and the city's evolution over centuries, offering countless stories. For instance, did you know that jewelry shops first appeared on Ponte Vecchio in 1593-94, at the request of Ferdinando I de’ Medici? Before then, the bridge was occupied by butcher shops, as they were required to operate away from the city center buildings and were allowed to discard waste directly into the river.

One of the last stops of the tour is Piazza Santa Croce. Piazza Santa Croce in Florence derives its name from the basilica of the same name, one of Italy's largest Franciscan churches. It is renowned for housing frescoes by Giotto, sculptures by Benedetto da Maiano, Desiderio da Settignano, and Canova, and serving as the final resting place for notable figures including Galilei, Foscolo, Michelangelo, and Machiavelli. The basilica has long symbolized the homeland, predating the unification of Italy.
