Description

A day trip to Florence from Rome is the perfect way to experience the cradle of the Renaissance in just one unforgettable day, combining comfort, culture, and world-class art.

Your journey begins early in the morning with a high-speed train ride from Rome to Florence. Throughout the trip, a dedicated tour leader will accompany the group, providing assistance and ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience from departure to return.

Upon arrival in Florence, you will have time to explore the city independently, strolling through its historic center — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — and soaking in the unique atmosphere of its elegant streets, iconic squares, and architectural masterpieces.

The highlight of the day is a guided visit to the Uffizi Gallery, one of the most important art museums in the world. With skip-the-line tickets and a certified professional guide, you will enjoy a 2-hour in-depth tour of its extraordinary collection. Inside the museum, you will admire timeless masterpieces by Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, Caravaggio, and many others, while your guide brings the artworks to life through engaging explanations, historical context, and fascinating stories.

After the visit, you will have additional free time to continue discovering Florence at your own pace before meeting the group for the return journey. In the evening, you will travel back to Rome by high-speed train, arriving with unforgettable memories of one of Italy’s most beautiful cities.

For added comfort, hotel pick-up from centrally located accommodations in Rome is available upon request, with a supplement.

Meeting point

Details:

We’ll start at Trajan’s Column, walk through Piazza Venezia, and head up to Piazza del Campidoglio to admire Michelangelo’s stunning design, today home to the Capitoline Museums.

Details:

We then head to the Theatre of Marcellus, often jokingly called the “little Colosseum.” Although architecturally similar to the Colosseum, the Theatre of Marcellus is slightly older, dating back to 12 BC, and hosted none of the blood sports. Today, a few lucky residents live in the apartments built above the theater.

Details:

During our walk we’ll see the many restaurants in the neighborhood and stop for a taste of traditional kosher gelato. Then we’ll take a short walk to the magnificent Turtle Fountain, a true masterpiece of the late Italian Renaissance, where you will learn how it was famously built in just one day.

Details:

Built in 1555, this is the oldest Jewish ghetto. The pope revoked all previously granted rights to Roman Jews and banned them from all trades and from owning property. Despite this, the Jewish community thrived, developing a unique and wonderful cuisine within its walls and even its own Italian dialect. The Great Synagogue, still the third largest in Europe, functions today as a place of prayer and a vital cultural landmark for Rome’s entire Jewish community.

Details:

From here it’s a very short walk to the Portico of Octavia, a large structure built by Emperor Augustus in honor of his sister Octavia. From the 15th century to the early 20th century, it served as Rome’s fish market. This is the point where we enter the Ghetto itself.

Details:

We conclude on Tiber Island, where past and present blend seamlessly. The island was used by the ancient Romans as a hospital, with the river serving as a natural barrier that helped stop the spread of disease, and one of Rome’s best hospitals can still be found on the site today. Offering beautiful views of the river, the island is conveniently located between the Ghetto and the local neighborhood of Trastevere and is well connected for returning to any part of the city.
