About This Route

A walking tour through the artistic heart of the Italian Renaissance, from the Uffizi to the Accademia, passing through streets that Botticelli, Michelangelo, and Leonardo walked daily. Florence's compact historic centre means that masterpieces of Western civilization are separated by minutes rather than miles.

Highlights

  • Uffizi Gallery — Botticelli's Birth of Venus, Caravaggio
  • Accademia — Michelangelo's David
  • Duomo — Brunelleschi's dome, Ghiberti's bronze doors
  • Palazzo Pitti — Raphael, Titian, Rubens
  • San Marco — Fra Angelico's frescoes
  • Brancacci Chapel — Masaccio's revolutionary frescoes
