From Venice: Florence Day Trip By Train with Walking Tour

Experience the magic of Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, with a full-day trip from Venice. Depart in the morning from Santa Lucia station and arrive in just 2 hours by high-speed train.

Your adventure begins with a guided walking tour led by a local expert. Explore the Medici district and admire landmarks such as the Medici Palace, San Lorenzo Church, and the Medici Chapels. Continue to Florence's iconic Duomo Complex: marvel at Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral, Brunelleschi's Dome, Giotto's Bell Tower, and the Baptistery with its golden “Gates of Paradise.”
Stroll through Dante's medieval neighborhood and admire the Gothic Church of Orsanmichele. Visit the Straw Market and rub the nose of “Il Porcellino” for good luck. Reach Piazza della Signoria, an open-air museum featuring the Fountain of Neptune, Palazzo Vecchio, and statues by Cellini and Giambologna.
Walk along the outside of the Vasari Corridor to the romantic Ponte Vecchio, famous for its artisan jewelry shops.
After some free time, if option selected, visit the breathtaking interior of Florence Cathedral. Admire its stained glass by Donatello and Ghiberti, Bandinelli's marble choir, and the frescoed dome by Vasari—an architectural masterpiece by Brunelleschi.

Enjoy a day filled with history, art, and unforgettable views in Florence!
