Stop At: Palazzo Vecchio, Piazza della Signoria, Florence Italy

Admire the plain 14th-century façade of the fortress-palace, and hear how it was the hub of Florentine civic power for centuries, and is still home to the city council.

As you admire the exterior, take in the crenelated battlements and 311-foot (95-meter) Arnolfo Tower, the clock tower that is Florence’s second highest viewpoint after Bruneschelli’s Dome.

Enter the palace with your guide and explore it opulent interiors. As you walk, learn how the building became home to Florence’s first Medici ruler, Cosimo I, in 1540, and how the Medicis went on to rule the city for centuries, acting as patrons of the arts.

Ogle the courtyard by Michelozzo and see the main chambers, halls and boardrooms filled with Renaissance paintings, frescoes and statues by greats including Michelangelo, Donatello and Giorgio Vasari.

Marvel at the showpiece Hall of the Five Hundred, with its Vasari battle frescoes, and view other highlights, including the study of Francesco I Medici and chambers of Cosimo’s wife, Eleonora of Toledo.

As dusk takes hold, climb to the rooftop for a guided walk around the battlements 130 feet (40 meters) above the square. Gaze at the sunset-washed city, and if you wish, climb the Arnolfo Tower for even more spectacular views.
