"Built on the site of an Etruscan settlement, Florence, the symbol of the Renaissance, rose to economic and cultural pre-eminence under the Medici in the 15th and 16th centuries. Its 600 years of extraordinary artistic activity can be seen above all in the 13th-century cathedral (Santa Maria del Fiore), the Church of Santa Croce, the Uffizi and the Pitti Palace, the work of great masters such as Giotto, Brunelleschi, Botticelli and Michelangelo."
Thanks to the astonishingly rich artistic legacy of its renaissance, World Heritage Sites abound in Tuscany, and have been inscribed throughout the years. Among these is the Historic Center of Florence (1982).
This transfer may suit you if you would like to explore on your own. It consists of a motorcoach ride from the ship to the city. You will be dropped off at a central location, and walk with your English-speaking escort to Piazza Santa Croce. The coach escort will advise you of the meet-up time for the return journey.
Please note: Travel time to Florence is approximately 1.5 hours each way. Guide service, taxi transfers, entrance fees and lunch are not included in the transfer price. It will be your responsibility to be at the meeting point at the given return time. An English-speaking escort will be aboard the transfer motorcoach to answer questions en route. Modest attire is required for visiting churches or cathedrals; knees, shoulders and midriffs must be covered. Shorts and short skirts are not allowed. Wear comfortable walking shoes. For guests wishing to visit the Uffizi Gallery or Academia, reservations can be made (subject to availability) through the ship's Destinations office. Once the confirmation of visit and time are received, you will be assigned a booking code; you must then report to the Uffizi or Academia 30 minutes prior to confirmed time to collect and settle payment of tickets by presenting the assigned confirmation code.
