Florence is a sepia-tinged fairytale of ancient Roman foundations, Renaissance architecture, and rolling hills. With your local host as your walking, talking guidebook, you’ll see several of the city’s iconic landmarks around Arno River. North of the river, the old medieval San Giovanni quarter, which surrounds the iconic Florence Cathedral, is still the heart of the historic city center and home to many of the city’s impressive attractions, from medieval streets to modern art. Across the Ponte Vecchio on the southern bank of the Arno, the Oltrarno district isn’t lacking in landmarks of its own, while the laid-back San Niccolò neighborhood less than a mile east is a hub of popular restaurants and wine bars, leading to all sorts of secrets.
