How the tour is structured...

Meet your guide and walk around the city. Going up Corso Italia, you will find Piazza San Francesco. Entrance into the church to admire the "Legend of the True Cross", fresco by Piero della Francesca. Continue with the nearby Piazza Grande, where the apse of the Romanesque Pieve overlooks, the Palazzo della Fraternità dei Laici which in its rooms houses art, scientific and archaeological collections; from its terrace you can see a beautiful view of the square and the mechanism of an astronomical clock - unique in Italy – and still working! The Vasari Loggias, towers and old palaces on the perimeter of the square. Here we run the Saracino carousel and the antiques fair takes place. In recent times the square has been chosen as a film set for numerous films, one of them "Life is beautiful" awarded with the Oscar. Lunch based on typical dishes, in the restaurant under the Vasari Loggias, a privileged stage on the square. The afternoon continues with the Medici Fortress, the Duomo, the Town Hall (outside), and Casa Vasari Museum, at the end of this day, dedicated to the history and culture of the city. End of services.
