Discovering the Renaissance Gems: A Historic Audio Tour of Florence

Audio guide13 stops

A hidden passage once let Medici dukes flee across Florence while danger stalked the streets below. Now the city invites you to follow in their shadow. This self-guided audio tour weaves through secret histories and overlooked marvels most visitors never glimpse. Why was the Ponte Vecchio the only bridge left standing after wartime destruction swept through? Which rebellious artist risked everything to cast Perseus in bronze beneath the arches of the Loggia dei Lanzi? And what scandalous misstep nearly doomed an entire marathon amid Florenceโ€™s ancient stones? Stride from triumph to intrigue as centuries swirl around you: political plots, artistic battles, roaring crowds, and whispered legends at every step. The city shifts as you move, its drama unfolding with each turn. Ready to walk where survival stories echo and every stone holds a secret? Begin your adventure and unlock Florenceโ€™s hidden depths now.
