Part 3/7:
Make your way across the Ponte Vecchio, Florence's oldest bridge, which is unique for its still-standing houses and shops. Originally home to butchers, it now showcases goldsmiths, a change that came about due to the demands of the Medici family. The Vasari Corridor runs above the bridge, allowing the Medici to navigate the city discreetly.
Lunch Break and Uffizi Gallery
Before diving into art, take a moment to savor some local cuisine. After lunch, head to the Uffizi Gallery, one of the oldest and most famous art museums in the world. Here, masterpieces from the likes of Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and Botticelli await, housed in an architecturally stunning building designed by the Medici.
