Guided tours

In 1452 Florence&#39;s cloth merchants gave a new pair of bronze doors the place of honour, facing the cathedral, because of their beauty. This walk is about that habit: Florence built the Renaissance, then kept choosing what to show.

Meet Brunelleschi and the rival he had to share the dome with, the Medici duke who walled up his palace&#39;s public corner, and Dante, sentenced to be burned. See where the old market and the ghetto were cleared in the 1880s and 1890s, which statues are copies, and where the originals went.

12 stops on one line of about 1.8 km, from San Lorenzo past the Medici palace, the Baptistery and the Duomo, through Dante&#39;s quarter and Piazza della Repubblica to Piazza della Signoria, the Uffizi and the Ponte Vecchio.

Self-guided audio, about 90 minutes at your own pace, with every stop free to see from the street.
