Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Then we will proceed along the route that leads to the famous terrace of Piazzale Michelangelo, where you can stop to enjoy the unforgettable panorama that encompasses the entire city. Climbing once again, you can admire the magnificent Romanesque basilica of San Miniato al Monte.

Stop 2

San Miniato is one of the most beautiful Basilicas in Florence, standing atop one of the highest points in the city, from where to enjoy a breathtaking view on the whole Town.

It is a small and charming village built along the road that went to Impruneta, which has remained practically unchanged over time. The area is very rich in villas and perhaps in one of these, Villa Il Teatro, there was the theater, where at least since the fourteenth century the companies of jesters, mimes and comedians passing through the city performed.

Arcetri (Arcètri) is a hilly area south of the center of Florence, where there are numerous historic buildings, such as the house of the confinement of Galileo Galilei (villa Il Gioiello), the church of San Leonardo in Arcetri, the convent of San Matteo , the Arcetri Astrophysical Observatory and the villa where Francesco Guicciardini lived.
