Traveling by train or by private car on a Florence day trip from Rome makes it easy for you to see the highlights of one of Italy’s most popular and fascinating destinations. Through an immersive Florence tour, an expert local guide will make you discover the rich cultural and artistic heritage of the Cradle of the Renaissance.


The immense cultural patrimony of Florence


If you are visiting Italy and only have a few days to enjoy its many attractions, you can not miss the city of Florence, the capital of Tuscany. A full-day tour from Rome is the perfect way to explore it in just one day.


Florence is home to many works of the Renaissance art and architecture. The city bursts with paintings, sculptures and buildings from the Middle Ages through the sixteenth century.


Accompanied by an expert local guide you can wander the medieval streets of the city, unchanged for centuries, and visit its treasures and wonders, follow the footsteps of the genius of Michelangelo, who left here so many masterpieces.

  • Admire the Basilica of Santa Croce in the square of the same name, one of the largest Franciscan churches and one of the greatest achievements of Gothic in Italy. It represents the meeting place of the greatest artists, theologians, religious, writers, humanists and politicians, who determined, in good times and bad, the identity of the late medieval and Renaissance city.

  • Visit the two of the world’s most impressive collections of Renaissance artworks: the Accademia Gallery exhibits Michelangelo’s David sculpture and other his unfinished marble creations, while the Uffizi Gallery contains world-renowned pieces like Botticelli’s Birth of Venus and Spring, several works by Leonardo Da Vinci among wich The Annunciation, and a range of paintings by Caravaggio.
