Florence Palazzo Vecchio Tour including Arnolfo Tower

Join an art historian guide and a group of no more than 15 people for a walk through Florence's Palazzo Vecchio and a step back in time. You'll spend a few hours getting to know the history behind the city's iconic town hall ― the heart of antiquity and center of Florence's civic power for over seven centuries.

Your tour includes direct access to the spectacular excavations being undertaken just below this 13th-century building's foundations, including the surviving remnants of the Roman theatre of Florentia, which once stood here. Enjoy your guide's expert knowledge while viewing these remains and feeling history spring to life around you.

Next, continue to the Palazzo Vecchio's first floor for a visit to the awe-inspiring Salone dei Cinquecento, an imposing hall originally built to house Florence’s 500 member Grand Council. Marvel at its breathtaking 16th-century frescoes, incredible marble and bronze sculptures, and the hall's sheer magnificence before moving on.

Finally, you'll have an opportunity to visit the palazzo's Arnolfo Tower, a 312-foot (95-meter) structure that's one of the Florence skyline's main focal points. The tour includes a climb into the tower's uppermost battlements, where you can enjoy spectacular 360-degree city vistas and incredible photo ops.
