Rome to Florence Tour: A Renaissance Journey

Embark on a breathtaking Rome to Florence tour and discover the cradle of the Renaissance. After a scenic 3-hour drive through the picturesque Italian countryside, immerse yourself in Florence’s timeless streets, where art and architecture reach unparalleled heights. In just one day, come face to face with history’s greatest masterpieces: Botticelli’s Venus, Michelangelo’s David, and Brunelleschi’s magnificent dome.

Florence: Where Art Comes Alive

No other city brings art to life quite like Florence. Here, painting and sculpture transcend museum walls, blending seamlessly with everyday life. While the Renaissance defines Florence, the city’s roots trace back to Roman times, founded as a colony in 59 AD. Florence’s urban footprint still reflects its ancient origins, creating a harmonious blend of history and innovation.

A Day Filled with Masterpieces

Begin your journey at the Uffizi Gallery, home to centuries of artistic evolution, from the 1300s to the 1600s. Marvel at Michelangelo’s David in the Accademia Gallery, a symbol of Florence’s artistic ingenuity and civic pride. Stroll across the historic Ponte Vecchio, its glittering gold shops echoing centuries of trade and tradition. Cap off your day by climbing to the top of Brunelleschi’s dome, an architectural marvel that continues to astonish engineers.

Uffizi Museum

The Uffizi Museum is one of the top most visited museums in the world for a good reason. It houses the most important works by the most iconic painters of the Italian Renaissance. Think Michelangelo, da Vinci, Raphael, and Caravaggio.

Ponte Vecchio

The oldest standing bridge in Florence, the Ponte Vecchio isn’t just a means to get from point A to point B—it’s a destination in and of itself. Once a meat market, turned into a goldsmith's paradise. This is the finest place to get all those lovely souvenirs that your friends and family are begging you for.

Galleria Accademia

There are many fine works, in fact, to see at the Accademia, but there is one sculpture that towers over everything else (literally). It’s Michelangelo’s David, of course. The Accademia was built especially to house the David, when Florence decided to save the poor guy from the elements. Fun fact: the only way to get the David out of the museum would be to take off the roof and helicopter him out!

Florence Cathedral

For over one hundred years, Florence Cathedral did not have a dome. In fact it was not until 1436 that Bruneleschi, through an incredible feat of engineering, that the world was graced with this masterpiece. The largest dome in the world at that point.
