Part 5/7:
No visit to Florence is complete without a stroll across the Ponte Vecchio, a medieval bridge lined with jewelry shops. Originally housing farmers, it transformed into a goldsmith's hub under the Medici family's influence. This bridge is one of Florence's most historic and picturesque features.
Santa Croce
The final stop on your cultural journey should be the Santa Croce Basilica, known for being the largest Franciscan church in the world. Not only does it boast beautiful frescoes, but it also houses the tombs of several influential figures, including Michelangelo and Galileo.
