What Awaits You

Explore the largest Palace in Florence, a realm of opulence and history. This palatial residence was renovated in 1549 by Eleonora di Toledo, the wife of Cosimo I de’ Medici, for her own use and is now home to several museums. Delve into the jaw-dropping interior with visits to illustrious galleries displaying the family’s ample Renaissance and Baroque art collection as well as silverware, carved vases, amber, gems, cameos, Chinese and Japanese porcelain, and enamels.

Learn about the rich story and the opulent lifestyle of the Medici family. Enter the excess of this powerful family at its zenith. The visit will include the Palatine Gallery, the silk-covered walls of which are hung with more than 500 paintings including Raphael’s celebrated Donna Velata, and the Silver Museum where precious gems and curious objects in ivory and gold are displayed. 

By the end of the walk, weather permitting, accompanied by your local expert you’ll wander into the magnificent Boboli Gardens, the finest example of a Renaissance “Italian garden”. Immerse yourself in the beauty of this historical landscape, a true outdoor museum where you’ll come across fountains, statues, secret pathways, and architectural follies.
