This itinerary focuses on the most important religious complex in Florence: the Cathedral, the Baptistry, Giotto’s bell tower and Brunelleschi’s Dome.
We’ll start by the South-West corner of the Cathedral square to get a full view of all four monuments together in one spectacular single frame; then, we will walk closer to the buildings to admire the decoration of the Baptistry, checking the exquisite details of Ghiberti’s most famous golden Gate of Paradise.
We will pause in front of the facade of the Duomo, as the locals call their cathedral, to take in the different shades of coloured marbles and statues. A walk around its perimeter will give us a real perspective of the grandiosity of this project.
The magnificent Dome, the ultimate work of Brunelleschi’s genius will see us out of the square and into and into the medieval heart of the city; we will be passing by narrow cobbled stone streets, lined up with tiny shops and vinaini, the local eateries, to finally end up by the birth place of Italy greatest poet, Dante Alighieri.

Hosted By Matteo
Hi! My name is Matteo and I am a professional local guide in Florence.
I have an Art History background and have spent nearly twenty years touring across Europe and guiding visitors around my home city.
I feel very lucky to call this my job; to share the passion for the history and the beautiful sights of Florence with guests from different parts of the world has enriched me and stimulates me to study further and discover the many hidden jewels that this city has in store for us.
You just need to turn around a corner, or look above your head, following the noise of your footsteps onto the cobble stone streets to feel part of this wonder; and I cannot wait to guide you through it.
