Immerse yourself in the vibrant core of Florentine history with a 2-hour guided tour of Palazzo Vecchio, one of the city’s most majestic landmarks. This historic building, the seat of Florence’s political power since the Middle Ages, is a treasure trove of art and culture.
The tour takes you through extraordinary rooms such as the Sala dei Duecento ("Hall of the Two Hundred"), once the meeting place of the city council, and the spectacular Salone dei Cinquecento ("Hall of the Five Hundred"), a vast chamber decorated with stunning frescoes and sculptures that celebrate Florence's military victories and Medici grandeur.
The visit continues through the private apartments of the Medici family, including the Studiolo di Francesco I, a small and secret study chamber filled with symbolic artwork and rare objects, and the Sala delle Carte Geografiche ("Hall of Maps"), a room showcasing ancient maps and a large globe reflecting the world as it was known in the 16th century.
An expert, licensed tour guide will lead you step by step, weaving historical facts with engaging anecdotes that make every room a captivating discovery. Their deep knowledge of Renaissance art, politics, and culture will bring each space vividly to life.
The tour begins in the striking Piazza della Signoria, right by the equestrian statue of Cosimo I de’ Medici. Experience the soul of Florence in a cultural journey you won’t forget. Book now!
