Top attractions in Florence .

Basilica of Santa Maria Novella – starting point of Florence Scavenger Hunt

The Basilica of Santa Maria Novella is located in front of the railway station. However, this is a beautiful building with a structural design similar to the Basilica of Santa Croce and the Duomo. Still, this Basilica has been interpreted pretty differently.

Its graceful curving designs, highlighting arches’ rows, and imitating windows are making it pretty impressive. Even more, here you can even experience the artistry of the 14th century as well. So, overall, this place worth your visit.

Basilica di San Marco

This is another leading tourist attraction in Florence. Its Byzantine architecture with plundered sculptures and gold mosaics is making it the most thrilled Christian Crusade. Additionally, entry to this Basilica is free.

Basilica di San Lorenzo

Located in close proximity to Duomo, this Basilica was designed under the powerful Medici family’s design that ruled the city for years during Renaissance.

Even though the church isn’t grand, but it’s impressive still with its characteristic and beautiful terracotta tiled roof and a huge dome. Even more, the tombs of the Medici family inside are pretty exquisite.

Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore

Santa Maria del Fiore is one of the largest churches in the world. Dominating the Tuscan skyline with its massive terracotta dome and intricate marble facade, this architectural titan stands as the heart of the Italian Renaissance. As you gaze upon the breathtaking engineering of Brunelleschi’s masterpiece and the vibrant patterns of green, white, and pink stone, you will uncover the artistic soul of Florence and the enduring legacy of its golden age.

Piazza della Signoria

Piazza Della Signoria is another important Florence attraction. Most importantly, it contains classical art and a myriad of buildings. The magnificent main structure contains Pallazo Vecchio with fantastic statues and a huge clock tower.

Even more, the square is easier to access because it’s located in a central location.

Santa Croce

Whilst the Florence cathedral is boasting immense size, Santa Croce is entirely beautiful and inviting. The construction of Santa Croce happened at the same time as Duomo. However, the front façade of this Basilica contains green, red, and pink marble polychrome panels combined with white stones.

Besides the beautiful exterior, the interior of this building also contains the tombs of the most influential Renaissance scholars and artists.

Uffizi Gallery

This is a popular art museum and is one of the most important museums Italian museums worldwide. The building of Uffizi Gallery is itself marvelous. At the same time, the interior is featuring an amazing series of intricate arches and columns adorned with spectacular marble statues.

Here you can also find an immense Renaissance Art collection from Botticelli, Raphael, Da Vinci, and more.

Ponte Vecchio

The Ponte Vecchio is one of the most famous and older bridges in Italy. It is also popular because of the array of shops built into the bridge’s sides and decorated history.

You can have an enjoyable walk through its fantastic structure and shops with ease.

Trinity Bridge

So, the Trinity Bridge is the oldest elliptic arch bridge in the world. The name of the bridge is upon the nearest ancient church. However, at present, this bridge is a faithful 16th-century monument’s reconstruction that’s worth your visit.

Piazza Della Repubblica – ending point of Florence Scavenger Hunt

This is another famous town square of the city amongst tourists. The famous café here has been opened in 1896. However, the square has been visiting for the dainty cafes. These cafes were the best places for literary people to meet and have a great time. So, whenever you visit Florence, make sure to visit these cafes here for a wonderful experience.

    Leider gab es bei den Aufgaben keinerlei Erklärung was der Begriff mit der Sehenswürdigkeit zu tun hat. Zudem hätte ich mir gewünscht dass man eine Aufgabe überspringen und später machen kann. Ansonsten informativ und auch etwas anstrengend.. Ca 10 km gelaufen und ca. 4 Stunden gebraucht.

    Die Führung an sich ist wirklich gut gemacht, lohnt sich für Familie mit Kids ( unsere waren 14 & 11). Allerdings plant mehr Zeit ein, wenn ihr nicht nur stur die Führung machen, sondern auch links und rechts schauen wollt. Tipp, direkt am Beginn der Führung ist ein Parkhaus ( Haltestelle Valfonda – Stationen S.M. – Novella). Noch was zu den Preisen vor Ort. Falls ihr ein Eis wollt oder etwas zu trinken, habt im Hinterkopf, dass es eine Touristen – Hochburg ist. Für 7 Kugeln Eis haben wir 20€ bezahlt / 2,85€ pro Kugel.

    Das Programm ist an sich ganz gut. Was fehlt ist eine Zeitangabe zur Dauer. Wir haben das nach einem Besuch im Museum gemacht und fanden es dafür zu lange. Man sollte es gleich als erstes machen und danach noch etwas anderes machen. Die Führung durch die Stadt war gut und zielführend. Was mir fehlte war eine Karte mit allen Zielen um die Route besser planen zu können. Merkwürdig finde ich auch, dass der Preis für zwei Teilnehmer berechnet wird, für Singles blöd.
