From Bologna to Florence: Full Day (Train + Duomo + Tour)
Your experience
Discover Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, in an unforgettable daily experience departing independently from Bologna on board the high-speed Italo train in First Class.
Upon arrival, reach the heart of the city to meet your guide directly in front of the Museo della Misericordia. From here, the highlight of the day will begin immediately: thanks to exclusive skip-the-line access through a reserved side door, you will completely avoid the long waits and enter directly inside the majestic Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. A certified tour guide will accompany you for 30 minutes on a fascinating journey through art and human ingenuity, revealing the secrets of the Cathedral and Brunelleschi’s extraordinary Dome. At the end of the explanation, you can stay inside to continue the visit in total autonomy. Your ticket also includes independent access to the Museo della Misericordia.
After the visit to the Duomo, you will have free time at your disposal to explore Florence at your own pace, go shopping, or enjoy a typical Tuscan lunch (not included).
In the afternoon, you will meet a new guide for a suggestive group walking tour of the city. You will stroll through elegant squares, ancient markets, and iconic bridges, immersing yourself in the unique atmosphere of Florence and discovering the stories, masterpieces, and legends hidden behind every corner. In the evening, you will return to Bologna in total comfort on board the high-speed train.
A perfect tour that perfectly balances the convenience of travel, the exclusivity of VIP access to the Duomo, and the beauty of discovering Florence with an expert guide.
