Full art tour in Florence: Tuscany most beautiful statues

Get swept into Florence’s magical core with this art-filled stroll through Piazza della Signoria and beyond! 🏛️✨ Marvel at world-famous sculptures, Renaissance masterpieces, and secret local stories—all in one afternoon.

Kick things off at the majestic Piazza della Signoria, Florence’s living open-air museum. Admire the dramatic Replica of Michelangelo’s David and discover why this symbol of Florentine freedom stands guard over the city. Don’t miss the Fountain of Neptune, glinting in the sunlight atop a marble chariot—Insta-perfection from the fountain’s left side, with Palazzo Vecchio in the backdrop! 📸 When in the square, pause at each statue and try to spot details: my tip is to look for the Medici lion, a power symbol with a story of its own.

Round the corner to Piazza di Santa Trinita and pop inside the Basilica of Holy Trinity (07:00-12:00, 16:00-18:00). Step quietly and soak in frescoes and golden altars—great for a peaceful break. Dress modestly; shoulders and knees covered.

If you’re a fashion lover, don’t miss the Museo Salvatore Ferragamo (Piazza di Santa Trinita, 5R, 10:30-19:30, €125). It’s a treasure trove tracing the city’s legendary shoemaking roots, and you’ll snap some glam shots beneath its Art Deco arches!

Bring water, wear comfy shoes, and wander early or late for fewer crowds and better light. Most sculptures are outside—watch for midday heat and keep a hand on your valuables, as the area can get busy. And as you circle the square, remember: every statue has a history, so take time to read plaques or join a guided tour for insider insights!
