Florence, cradle of the Renaissance, with Piracity becomes an open-air treasure map: a walk among masterpieces and alleys in which you solve riddles and reach landmark places like the Baptistery of San Giovanni and the Ponte Vecchio. Between one clue and the next, the city of art wins you over at the table too, with the famous bistecca alla fiorentina.
Stops to discover
Mercato Centrale di San Lorenzo
The Mercato Centrale di San Lorenzo is Florence's great pantry: a 19th-century pavilion of iron, cast iron and glass where Florentines have done their shopping for 150 years. All around, among stalls and kiosks, you can smell the city's best-loved street food.
Battistero di San Giovanni
The Baptistery of San Giovanni is one of the oldest and best-loved monuments in Florence, facing the cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. Clad in white and green marble, it holds splendid golden mosaics and Ghiberti's famous Gates of Paradise, which Michelangelo judged worthy of being the entrance to heaven.
Piazza della Signoria
Piazza della Signoria has been the political centre of Florence for over seven centuries. Dominated by the bulk of Palazzo Vecchio and its tower, it is an open-air museum: among its statues stand out the copy of Michelangelo's David and the masterpieces of the Loggia dei Lanzi. This is where the city's civic heart has beaten, and still beats.
Galleria degli Uffizi
The Uffizi Gallery is one of the most important museums in the world and holds the most extraordinary collection of Italian Renaissance art. In its rooms you meet absolute masterpieces by Botticelli, Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, Titian and Caravaggio. A journey into beauty, in the heart of Florence.
Ponte Vecchio
The Ponte Vecchio is the oldest and most famous bridge in Florence, the only one to survive the Second World War. With the goldsmiths' workshops hanging out over the Arno, it is one of the city's symbols. Above the workshops runs the Vasari Corridor, the Medici's secret passage.
Palazzo Pitti
Palazzo Pitti is the largest monumental residence in Florence, home to the Medici, the Lorraine and, briefly, the Savoy. Its imposing rusticated façade looks onto the square of the same name, while behind it stretch the famous Boboli Gardens. Today it houses museums full of masterpieces, from the Palatine Gallery to the Treasury of the Grand Dukes.
Piazzale Michelangelo
Piazzale Michelangelo is the most famous panoramic terrace in Florence. Set on a hill in the Oltrarno, it offers an unmatched view of the city: Brunelleschi's dome, Palazzo Vecchio, the bridges over the Arno and the Tuscan hills in the background. It is the perfect place to watch the sunset over the Tuscan capital.
The attractions along the way
The map takes you among the most celebrated places: the Mercato Centrale di San Lorenzo, the Baptistery of San Giovanni in the shadow of Brunelleschi's Dome, Piazza della Signoria with Palazzo Vecchio, the Uffizi, the Ponte Vecchio over the Arno, Palazzo Pitti and Piazzale Michelangelo. Every corner hides a clue of your adventure.
History and culture, lived through play
With Piracity you discover Florence almost without realising it. Did you know that Brunelleschi's Dome, completed in 1436, is still today the largest masonry dome ever built? Or that the Renaissance was born right here, among the Medici and the art workshops? Between one riddle and the next there is room for Tuscan flavours too, from the bistecca alla fiorentina to the lampredotto of the street stalls.
An adventure that continues
After the map, Florence is still all to be lived. Stay on at Piazzale Michelangelo, the last stop, for the sunset panorama, climb Brunelleschi's Dome, visit the Galleria dell'Accademia to admire the original David, cross the Boboli Gardens or treat yourself to a gelato strolling along the Arno. Whether it is your first time or a return, with Piracity Florence will surprise you at every corner.
