Ambulatory Accessible Florence & Accademia Gallery
Florence holds an unrivaled place in art history. Spend the day seeing the city's artistic and architectural treasures with a knowledgeable guide.
First up is the Galleria dell'Accademia, which held Europe's first-ever school for drawing — and is now home to Michelangelo's David and other famous Renaissance works. You'll grab lunch near Piazza della Signoria, a historic L-shaped square that's been the center of political life in Florence since the 14th century, plus see the nearby Piazza della Repubblica and famous Ponte Vecchio bridge. Wrap up with a visit to Piazzale Michelangelo to see Florence in all its red-roofed glory from above.
This Tour is accessible for Sailors who can navigate a few steps but have mobility difficulties or is a companion for a Sailor booked in the Fully Accessible tour.
