Along the way, there's an enlightening stop at Palazzo Strozzi, one of Italy's finest Renaissance palaces. Its grandeur and intricate architecture speak volumes about the Strozzi family, one of the richest in Florence, who had a traditionally hostile relationship with the powerful Medici family. You'll also visit Piazza Santa Trinita and cross over the Santa Trinita bridge, offering a spectacular view of the iconic Ponte Vecchio. But the real charm starts when you cross into the Oltrarno area, the city's most captivating district. It's here that you'll discover world-renowned monuments, gardens, museums, and unique buildings. Walking through Oltrarno’s narrow, winding streets feels like stepping back in time, with the bustling workshops of artisans, goldsmiths, and restaurateurs contributing to the authentic Florentine atmosphere.
